Symmetric key encryption requires that each computer have a secret key that is used to encrypt data before sending it over a network. The same key is required by both computers to decrypt the encrypted information. Symmetric key encryption works like a secret code that both computers must know to encode and decode messages.
Cryptography is the science of securing communications and information by transforming messages into an unreadable format. It provides confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Confidentiality keeps information private from unauthorized users. Integrity detects if data has been altered without authorization. Authentication verifies that the sender is who they claim to be. Cryptography uses algorithms and keys to encrypt plaintext into ciphertext that can only be decrypted using the proper key. Symmetric cryptography uses the same key for encryption and decryption while asymmetric cryptography uses public and private key pairs.
Today, more than ever, computer networks are utilized for sharing services and resources. Information travelling across a shared IP-based network, such as the Internet, could be exposed to many devious acts such as eavesdropping, forgery and manipulation. Fortunately, there are several mechanisms that can protect any information that needs to be sent over a network. This paper introduces security threats to today’s IP-based networks and explains available security mechanisms to effectively prevent such threats from happening.
1) End-to-end encryption protects communications by encrypting messages in a way that only the sender and recipient can access, not intermediate servers or other third parties.
2) Currently, most email services like Gmail can be accessed by system administrators and is sent in clear text, similar to sending a postcard through the mail system.
3) With end-to-end encryption, messages are encrypted like placing the message in a locked safe that only the intended recipient can open, providing privacy and security from threats of surveillance, hacking and other attacks.
The document provides an introduction to encryption basics including symmetric and asymmetric encryption. It explains how symmetric encryption works with Alice and Bob sharing a password to encrypt and decrypt messages. It also explains how asymmetric encryption works with Alice using Bob's public key to encrypt a message that only Bob can decrypt with his private key. The document recommends tools for encrypting email, disks, and browsing privately including Thunderbird, TrueCrypt, and Tor. It discusses some challenges with encryption including managing keys and speeds with Tor. The overall purpose is to educate about the importance of encryption for privacy.
This document discusses different types of encryption methods. It explains symmetric key encryption where both parties share the same key. It also describes public key encryption where each user has a public and private key. Finally, it discusses hashing algorithms which create unique codes from data but cannot be used to derive the original data.
Encryption is a process that converts plain text into cipher text using an encryption algorithm. There are two main types: symmetric encryption which uses a shared secret key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric encryption which uses a public/private key pair. While symmetric encryption is faster, asymmetric encryption is more secure as the private key is never shared. Encryption is used to provide authentication, privacy, accountability, integrity and security for data across various applications such as e-commerce, banking, defense services and more.

Computer encryption uses cryptography to secure online transactions. There are two main types of encryption: symmetric-key encryption where both computers share the same key, and public-key encryption which uses different keys for encryption and decryption. Encryption encodes data during transmission while authentication verifies the identity of the sender and confirms the data has not been altered. Together, encryption and authentication create a secure online environment for sharing information.
This document provides an overview of computer security concepts, including risks, authentication, encryption, public key cryptography, wireless network security, and hacking tools and techniques. It discusses how attackers can sniff network traffic, crack wireless encryption, scan for vulnerabilities, and use social engineering to compromise systems. The document recommends maintaining up-to-date software, using strong passwords, limiting network access, and backing up data to help secure systems from potential threats.
The document discusses network security threats and techniques. It begins by noting the importance of being prepared for attacks. It then describes various network security threats like eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service attacks, and malware. It also discusses network security requirements and various countermeasures like encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection. Cryptographic techniques like public key cryptography, digital signatures, and key distribution protocols are explained as ways to provide security services over networks.

The document discusses encryption and decryption techniques. It introduces symmetric-key cryptography, where the sender and receiver share a single key, and public-key cryptography, which avoids the problem of secure key exchange. It then discusses the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm, which transforms 64-bit blocks of data using a complex computation controlled by a 64-bit key. DES applies initial and final permutations to the data and uses a cipher function and key schedule for the encryption.
Cryptography is a method of protecting information through codes so that only intended recipients can access it. It provides confidentiality, integrity, accuracy, and authentication. There are two main categories: symmetric cryptography which uses the same key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric cryptography which uses different public and private keys. Encryption converts plain text into cipher text while decryption reverses the process. Cryptography has applications in defense, e-commerce, banking, and other areas where secure transmission of information is needed.
Encryption is the process of encoding information in such a way that only the intended recipient can read it. There are two main types: symmetric key encryption where both sides share the same key, and public key encryption where each side has a public and private key. Popular implementations of public key encryption include SSL/TLS which is used to securely transmit information on the web by encrypting data with a randomly generated symmetric key that is itself encrypted with the recipient's public key.
This document discusses cryptography and some of its key concepts. It defines cryptography as the science of secret writing and describes how it can be used to securely transmit messages and protect information. It then summarizes some common issues in cryptography like confidentiality, authentication, and integrity. It also defines important cryptography terms like plaintext, ciphertext, ciphers, keys, symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. Specific algorithms like DES, AES, RSA are also outlined at a high level.
The document describes the Exadata V2 database machine from Oracle. It provides extreme performance for data warehousing and online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads. For data warehousing, it can process queries up to 5 times faster than the previous version through innovations like hybrid columnar compression, smart flash cache, and parallel query processing directly on DRAM. For OLTP, smart flash cache delivers over 1 million input/outputs per second to accelerate random access. The Exadata V2 also enables consolidation of multiple databases onto a single system while maintaining predictable performance.

This study analyzed prescription drug utilization data from a Medicare drug discount card program and employer-insured plans to estimate the extent to which seniors filled prescriptions in Canada prior to Medicare Part D. The authors found that those living closer to the Canadian border had lower rates of filling prescriptions domestically, suggesting some crossed the border for cheaper drugs. The effect was greater for brand drugs and those without insurance coverage. Living 10% closer to the border was associated with 1.15% and 0.80% fewer generic and brand prescriptions filled domestically. The results indicate that while Medicare Part D likely reduced cross-border drug purchases, some seniors may still obtain medications from Canada to save on costs.

The document also addresses frequently asked questions about junk e-mail legislation, asserting that such legislation is not censorship, is not anti-business, and that individual recipients need a private right of action for effective deterrence against junk e-mail.
This document discusses email security and the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption software. It describes why email security is important given threats like loss of confidentiality and integrity. It then provides details on PGP, including how it uses public/private key encryption and digital signatures to encrypt messages and authenticate senders. PGP uses symmetric encryption of messages and asymmetric encryption of session keys, storing keys in a local ring. The document discusses PGP key management and its use of a web of trust model without a central authority.
The document discusses email security threats and protocols. It describes how emails are vulnerable targets for hackers due to their widespread use and standardized protocols. Common attacks involve delivering malware or disclosing sensitive information by intercepting emails. The Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) protocols provide encryption, authentication, and integrity to secure emails. PGP uses public/private key pairs and symmetric encryption to encrypt messages and verify identities. S/MIME also uses digital signatures and encryption to securely encode email contents and attachments.
This document discusses email security and the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption software. It provides an overview of why email security is important given common threats like loss of confidentiality and integrity. It then describes how PGP works to encrypt emails using symmetric and asymmetric encryption. PGP uses a "web of trust" model where users can sign each other's public keys to establish trusted relationships. Key challenges to PGP adoption are also summarized, such as usability issues and the difficulty of properly managing encryption keys.
Encryption refers to encoding plain text into cypher text to provide privacy and security. It ensures secrecy by making stolen information difficult to read, accuracy by detecting changes to information, and authenticity by confirming who sent a message. Encryption has a long history and was used for military, political, and diplomatic purposes. Modern encryption uses algorithms and keys to encode information during transmission and can be implemented manually or transparently in software and systems.
Cryptography involves converting plain text into cipher text to secure communication. There are two main types: private/symmetric key cryptography uses a single shared key for encryption and decryption, while public/asymmetric key cryptography uses two keys - a public key to encrypt and a private key to decrypt. Private key cryptography is faster but requires secure key exchange, while public key allows communication without pre-shared keys and enables authentication and digital signatures.
The chapters follow a sequence that I consider to be a logical
progression through the subject matter, and in the main, follow
the order of objectives stated in the BTEC unit of Electrical and
Electronic Principles. The major exception to this is that the topics of
instrumentation and measurements do not appear in a specifi c chapter
of that title. Instead, the various instruments and measurement methods
are integrated within those chapters where the relevant theory is
covered.
Occasionally a word or phrase will appear in bold blue type, and close
by will be a box with a blue background. These emphasised words or
phrases may be ones that are not familiar to students, and within the
box will be an explanation of the words used in the text.
Throughout the book, Worked Examples appear as Q questions
in bold type, followed by A answers. In all chapters, Assignment
Questions are provided for students to solve.
The fi rst chapter deals with the basic concepts of electricity; the use of
standard form and its adaptation to scientifi c notation; SI and derived
units; and the plotting of graphs. This chapter is intended to provide
a means of ensuring that all students on a given course start with the
same background knowledge. Also included in this chapter are notes
regarding communication. In particular, emphasis is placed on logical
and thorough presentation of information, etc. in the solution of
Assignment Questions and Practical Assignment reports.
This Textbook supersedes the second edition of Fundamental
Electrical and Electronic Principles. In response to comments
from colleges requesting that the contents more closely match the
objectives of the BTEC unit Electrical and Electronic Principles,
some chapters have been removed and some exchanged with the
companion book Further Electrical and Electronic Principles, ISBN

This document discusses network security and cryptography. It defines four requirements for secure transactions: confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. It also defines cryptography as the science of encrypting messages to make them secure and immune to attacks. The two main categories of cryptography are symmetric-key and asymmetric-key cryptography. Symmetric-key cryptography uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, while asymmetric-key cryptography uses public and private key pairs. Digital signatures, public key infrastructure, certificates, and cryptanalysis are also discussed.
Encryption is the process of encoding data to protect it. There are two main types: symmetric encryption which uses the same key for encoding and decoding but requires secure key sharing, and asymmetric encryption which uses a public/private key pair allowing secure communication without pre-shared keys. Security protocols like HTTPS and firewalls are also used to protect data transmission and access to private networks.
Anti-virus software scans files to identify viruses by matching signatures of previously discovered viruses. It offers real-time protection and scheduled scans, and can delete or quarantine infected files. Passwords are commonly used with usernames to authenticate users, and should be at least 8 characters long without including personal details. Biometrics authenticate users using unique biological traits like fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial recognition. Encryption converts data into an unreadable format, while decryption reverses the process, and different encryption methods include symmetric, asymmetric, and digital signatures.

three responses to other posts made by your classmates. These can be replies to other main posts or responding to student replies on your thread.
PLEASE RESPOND TO THE PEER POSTS BELOW
PEER 1
Ransomware works via finding its way onto a host computer, it's a kind of malware so it's like when your computer gets sick and slows it down but instead it locks out all your stuff. Usually what they ask for in return for control of your files is money, but sometimes they will ask for other important things. The FBI doesn't condone giving the attackers what they want because it's more than likely that they'll just take the money and keep your stuff locked, they'll possibly even ask for more. That's why they stress how important it is that if this happens to you then you should go to them for help. If your in a company then you ask your IT department.
The software goes through this encryption phase where it starts encrypting all the files on your computer until it's all locked and you can tell if something is encrypted usually because the file will have an extension added onto it. Such as .aaa , .micro , .encrypted , .ttt , .xyz , .zzz , .locky , .crypt , .cryptolocker , .vault , or .petya. These extensions are an indication that a file has been partially or fully encrypted. What's recommended is that as soon as you find out that your files are being locked, you disconnect from all wireless connections and other computing devices, because this virus can and will spread to cause even more havoc. It can spread across your network and ruin other computers on said network.
Ransomware is normally delivered by drive-by downloads or email phishing. Drive-by downloads are a fancy way of saying a download that you pick up while browsing a site and it runs in the background. Email phishing is one of the reasons you don't click on links from emails from anyone, even from trusted sources. If you know who the email is coming from your best bet is to get with them personally to make sure that it's a valid email and that it's not an attacker. If a ransom is paid though, the attack may give you an encryption key to unlock your files, if your lucky enough. Why take a chance though, you should always take the smart path and make sure that you contact the proper authorities if you come across anything like this in your time. Also make sure to back up your computer files, it may sound obvious enough to want to put it off and procrastinate this, but the longer you wait the more at risk you are.
PEER 2
This week, I have decided to write my discussion post about ransomware and explain how it works. I've always found it one of the more interesting topics in cybersecurity. The idea behind ransomware is quite si.
This document provides an overview of cryptography. It defines cryptography as the practice of hiding information and discusses its purposes, including authentication, privacy, integrity, and non-repudiation. The document outlines the basic architecture of cryptography, including secret key cryptography, public key cryptography, hash functions, and types of cryptographic attacks. It describes the processes of public/private key cryptography and different types of cryptographic algorithms.
This document discusses security precautions and encryption. It begins by describing encryption as encoding data into another form using a key so that intercepted data is meaningless without decrypting. There are two main encryption methods: symmetric key using the same secret key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric key using a public/private key pair. Digital certificates and signatures are also discussed as a way to prove digital identity and verify message authenticity. UK computer crime law, the Computer Misuse Act of 1998, is summarized as prohibiting unauthorized computer access, access with criminal intent, and unauthorized/reckless computer impairment.
Encryption transforms plain text into cipher text using encryption algorithms and keys to provide confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of messages. Modern encryption uses both symmetric encryption with private keys and asymmetric encryption with public/private key pairs. Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provide encrypted communication over the internet using technologies like digital certificates, the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, and algorithms like RSA and AES.
The document provides an introduction to cryptography. It discusses how Sheela and Tom used public-key cryptography to securely communicate. Tom encrypted a message with Sheela's public key. Sheela then decrypted it with her private key. Tom also sent a digital signature by encrypting a message digest with his private key and encrypting the original message with Sheela's public key. Sheela was able to verify the integrity and authenticity of the message by decrypting the digest with Tom's public key and comparing it to the digest she calculated from the original message. The document goes on to provide more details about symmetric and public key cryptography.
Encryption systems are important for protecting sensitive information that is transmitted online, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, private messages, and company secrets. The document introduces symmetric-key encryption, where both parties have the same secret key, and public-key encryption, which uses a public and private key pair to securely communicate. It describes how secure sockets layer (SSL) is used to encrypt web traffic and ensure sensitive information is protected when browsing or conducting financial transactions online. Hashing algorithms are also introduced as a way to securely generate keys for public-key encryption systems.
This document provides an overview of cryptography. Cryptography is the practice of hiding information to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. There are two main types: secret key cryptography which uses a single key for encryption and decryption, and public key cryptography which uses separate public and private keys. Popular cryptographic algorithms include RSA and hash functions. Cryptography aims to provide security against common attacks such as ciphertext-only attacks.
The document discusses cryptography concepts such as public key cryptography, digital signatures, and secure communication protocols. Public key cryptography uses key pairs to encrypt and decrypt messages, allowing private communication over insecure channels. Digital signatures authenticate messages by encrypting a cryptographic hash of the message with the sender's private key. Protocols like SSL and TLS provide secure channels by adding an encryption layer below the application layer.
Encryption encodes information in a way that only authorized parties can access it. There are two main types: symmetric-key encryption which uses the same secret key between two parties, and public-key encryption which uses a public and private key pair. Popular implementations of public-key encryption include PGP for encrypting files and SSL/TLS for secure web browsing and transactions.
Lesson 04 - Symmetric and Asymmetric Key Encryptions (1).pptxMohamedNowfeek1
1. Symmetric key cryptography uses a single secret key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric key cryptography uses two different but mathematically related keys, a public key and a private key.
2. In asymmetric encryption, the public key is used to encrypt messages and its companion private key is used to decrypt messages. Only the recipient who possesses the private key can decrypt messages encrypted with their public key.
3. The essential steps of asymmetric encryption are that each user generates a public-private key pair, places their public key in a register for others, and encrypts messages sent to recipients with their public key which can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key.
