38. Encrypt Me – Defining Encryption
• A methodology using algorithms to modify data, text, code, etc. to prevent the
opportunity of hacking and misuse of information
• Courses such as Cryptography devote a substantial amount of time towards this
process
• Encryption can exist as: Wi-Fi Encryption, Data Encryption, and Web Encryption
• Encryption can be one of the most secure ways to protect your computer and
mobile device

39. Encrypt Me – Wi-Fi Encryption
• Wi-Fi Encryption is the encryption method you take to protect outside access to your network
[whether at home or not]
• Three common types are WEP, WPA, WPA2
• Wired Equivalent Privacy can be 64, 128, or 256 bit encryptions; commonly used, but easily
hacked
• Wi-Fi Protected Access is 256 bit encryption; created due to the vulnerabilities of WEP
• Wi-Fi Protected Access II is an updated version of WPA and the most secure encryption tool for
Wi-Fi

40. Encrypt Me – Data Encryption
• Focuses heavily on making text or information sent via email or other online
transmit difficult to decipher [or read]
• Substitution ciphers are the most common tool for this task

41. Encrypt Me – Web Encryption
• Look for the “lock” – it means the most secure websites
• Digital Certificates
• Like cookies; gives access based on
prior approval/visit [can expire]
• SSL Encryption
• Most common web encryption tool

42. Encrypt Me – Web Encryption of Social Media
• Twitter says:
• Secure Connection
• The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using a
strong protocol (TLS 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_RSA), and
a strong cipher (AES_128_GCM).
• Instagram says:
• Secure Connection
• The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using a
strong protocol (TLS 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_RSA), and
a strong cipher (CHACHA20_POLY1305).
• Your results may vary. A similar protocol, key exchange, and cipher are
perfectly fine, but often each site will have its own cipher.

43. Phishing and Pharming
• Phishing
• Luring people into revealing
information
• Pharming
• Malicious code planted on
your computer to gather

to a specific port is known as logical
port blocking.

• Detects viruses and
protects your computer. Like
Symantec, Kaspersky, AVG, McAfee

strength tests
• Operating systems have built-in password
protection

passwords include all of
the following EXCEPT use a
dictionary to find a
lengthy word that is easy
to remember.

46. Protecting Data
• Protect your personal Information.
Backups are copies of data
• Backup your data from: Unauthorized

technique that uses social
skills to generate human
interaction that entices
individuals to reveal
sensitive information.
