Cryptography is a fundamental building block of secure system design that security architects use as part of a layered approach to keep information private, and protect systems against fake communications. Potential attacks against networks and systems can be achieved by subverting communications and introducing havoc using specially constructed false messages. These types of attacks are safeguarded against when using proper modern cryptography to check the authenticity of messages and guard their privacy.
Watchguard is proposed as a security solution for the network that would:

Authentication Mechanisms For Signature Based Cryptography By Using Hierarchi...Editor IJMTER
In this paper the signature of a person is taken as input which is encrypted using
hierarchical visual cryptography. By using HVC the input signature will be divided into four shares.
From that any three are taken to generate key share. Another fragmentation should handover to the
authenticated server. The authenticated server should maintain the generated key and fourth
fragmentation. Only the authorized user can be accessed. If the receiver identifies the fourth
fragmentation and decrypt they got message by using HVC. It is insecure process because anybody
can hack the decrypted message easily. For the secure process the authenticated server generate a
password while transferring a message. The authenticated person can only able to got that message.
The authenticated server checks whether the person should be authorized user or not, while starting
their conversation. It provides more security and challenged for the hackers.

9.2.2 Advanced Cryptography Facts9.2.2 Advanced Cryptography Facts
Advanced cryptography includes the following:
Concepts Definition
Encrypting
The purpose of encryption is obfuscation, making a message obscure so it is difficult to read.
Cryptographic service providers (CSPs) are software libraries that can be used to enhance encryption. Applications can use
these libraries to help secure email and provide strong user authentication.
Key
Exchange
The sender of an encrypted message encrypts a message with a key. Then the message receiver must decrypt the message with a key.
Key families include:
Symmetric. A symmetric key is where the sender uses a private key to encrypt a message. Then the recipient uses that same
private key to decrypt it.
Asymmetric. An asymmetric key is where the sender's key and receiver's key are different for the encryption and decryption
processes.
Key length is the number of bits used in a key by a cryptographic algorithm and can determine the strength.
Modes of
Operation
Modes of operations include:
Block Cipher: Provides confidentiality and authenticity services. A block cipher can encrypt or decrypt one fixed-length
block. It encrypts or decrypts one large chunk of data (or block) at a time, often combining blocks for additional security.
Block ciphers are more useful when the amount of data is known.
Cipher Block Chaining (CBC): A plaintext block is combined with the previous cipher text block, and the result is
encrypted with the key.
Cipher Feedback (CFB): Each cipher text block is fed back into the encryption and then used to encrypt the next plaintext
block.
Output Feedback (OFB): The output blocks are fed back into the block cipher. These blocks then make strings of bits to
feed the encryption algorithm, acting as the key generator.
Counter (CTR): Both the sender and recipient access a reliable counter that computes a new shared value each time a
ciphertext block is exchanged. The counter needs to be synchronized between both parties.
Galois/Counter Mode (GCM): A variation of the Counter mode, GCM throughput rates do not require high performance
hardware to produce acceptable high speed communication channels.
Output
The output from a cryptographic process may exhibit the following:
A simple character change in the plaintext will cause several characters to change in the cipher text. This is called diffusion.
When two different inputs to a cryptographic function produce the same output, this is called a collision. Collisions are not
common, but can occur.
Digital
Signature
A digital signature is a mathematical scheme for demonstrating the authenticity of digital message or document. A valid digital
signature gives a message credibility, guaranteeing the recipient that the message has not been tampered with in transit.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a security architecture for cloud computing that dynamically configures cryptographic algorithms and keys based on security policies and inputs like network access risk and data sensitivity. The architecture aims to improve security while reducing costs by only using the necessary level of encryption for each situation. It describes using the Blowfish algorithm instead of AES and adjusting the key size from 128 to 448 bits depending on factors like network type and data size. Results show Blowfish has better performance than AES, especially with larger keys on larger amounts of data. The goal is to provide flexible, efficient security tailored to each user's needs.
IRJET- Schemes for Securing Cloud Data when the Cryptographic Material is Exp...IRJET Journal
This document reviews different schemes for securing cloud data when cryptographic keys are exposed. It discusses approaches such as using ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption to achieve fine-grained access control while delegating computational overhead to cloud servers. It also examines techniques like all-or-nothing encryption, secret sharing, and the Bastion encryption scheme which aims to guarantee data confidentiality even if the encryption key is leaked. The review evaluates these methods for securing cloud storage when keys are compromised.
IRJET - Data Security in Cloud Computing using Homomorphic AlgorithamIRJET Journal
This document discusses using homomorphic encryption to securely store and process data in the cloud. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing and data security challenges. The proposed system would encrypt user data before transferring it to the cloud server using homomorphic encryption. This allows computations to be performed on the encrypted data without decrypting it first, protecting data privacy. The document reviews related work on authentication schemes and secure file storage using encryption. It presents the proposed system architecture and concludes that homomorphic encryption can help address cloud computing security issues by allowing operations on encrypted user data.

This document proposes a passwordless authentication system using unique identification tokens. It discusses the limitations of traditional password-based authentication systems, including susceptibility to phishing and users reusing passwords across multiple accounts. The proposed system would generate a unique token during authentication on the server-side rather than requiring the user to store and enter multiple passwords. This token would be included in the authorization header for authentication to protected routes on the server. The system aims to provide a more secure and usable authentication method compared to existing password-based systems.
IRJET- An Implementation of Secured Data Integrity Technique for Cloud Storag...IRJET Journal
The document proposes a secured data integrity technique for cloud storage using 3DES encryption algorithm. 3DES is a symmetric cryptosystem that encrypts data using three iterations of the DES algorithm. The proposed system uses 3DES along with a random key generator and graphical password to add extra security layers. This makes the system difficult to hack by protecting the data stored in the cloud. The document discusses related work on ensuring data integrity and possession in cloud storage. It then describes the proposed methodology which uses cryptography algorithms like 3DES to encrypt data sent over the network, making intercepted or replaced data impossible. The system is designed to be acceptably secure against current threats but may require stronger encryption with increasing computing power over time.
Defensive coding practices is one of the most critical proactive sLinaCovington707
Defensive coding practices is one of the most critical proactive security countermeasures in SDLC. If software developers follow certain security best-practices, most of the weaknesses can be eliminated. In this module’s readings, you looked at defensive tactics used in the development of software. You also learned OWASP proactive controls. Question 1
Extract defensive coding practices from Chapter 13 of the Conklin & Shoemaker. Explain each coding practice in one short paragraph. Question 2
For each coding practice, describe a corresponding CWE (https://cwe.mitre.org/) and OWASP proactive control (https://owasp.org/www-project-proactive-controls/)
CHAPTER 13
Defensive Coding Practices
In this chapter you will
• Learn the role of defensive coding in improving secure code
• Explore declarative vs. programmatic security
• Explore the implications of memory management and security
• Examine interfaces and error handling
• Explore the primary mitigations used in defensive coding
Secure code is more than just code that is free of vulnerabilities and defects. Developing code that will withstand attacks requires additional items, such as defensive coding practices. Adding in a series of controls designed to enable the software to operate properly even when conditions change or attacks occur is part of writing secure code. This chapter will examine the principles behind defensive coding practices.
Declarative vs. Programmatic Security
Security can be instantiated in two different ways in code: in the container itself or in the content of the container. Declarative programming is when programming specifies the what, but not the how, with respect to the tasks to be accomplished. An example is SQL, where the “what” is described and the SQL engine manages the “how.” Thus, declarative security refers to defining security relations with respect to the container. Using a container-based approach to instantiating security creates a solution that is more flexible, with security rules that are configured as part of the deployment and not the code itself. Security is managed by the operational personnel, not the development team.
Imperative programming, also called programmatic security, is the opposite case, where the security implementation is embedded into the code itself. This can enable a much greater granularity in the approach to security. This type of fine-grained security, under programmatic control, can be used to enforce complex business rules that would not be possible under an all-or-nothing container-based approach. This is an advantage for specific conditions, but it tends to make code less portable or reusable because of the specific business logic that is built into the program.
The choice of declarative or imperative security functions, or even a mix of both, is a design-level decision. Once the system is designed with a particular methodology, then the secure development lifecycle (SDL) can build suitable protections bas ...
Secure coding is the act of creating program such that makes preparations for the unplanned presentation of security vulnerabilities. Elanus Technologies provides a secure coding training platform where developers learn by actually exploiting and then fixing vulnerabilities and stop cyber-attacks.

1. Organizations need to start preparing for post-quantum cryptography to protect sensitive data that may be decrypted in the future using quantum computers.
2. Technologies developed today like vehicles will remain in use for a long time, so any long-lived projects need to consider quantum computing.
3. Transitioning to post-quantum cryptography presents challenges including accurately inventorying all current cryptography uses, uncertainty around when large quantum computers will emerge, and needing to protect some long-term or embedded devices for many years.
The document describes an advanced security system for cloud storage. It uses an encryption technology that allows encryption keys to be exchanged without having to keep the keys secret.

IRJET- Secure Sharing of Personal Data on Cloud using Key Aggregation and...IRJET Journal
This document proposes a method for secure sharing of personal data on cloud storage using key aggregation and cryptography. It discusses how traditional cloud storage raises privacy and security issues due to outsourcing of data. The proposed method uses key-aggregate encryption to encrypt data files and generate a single aggregate key, reducing the need to exchange keys for individual files. This allows data owners to selectively and securely share a large number of encrypted files with data users by distributing the aggregate encryption key. When data users search for files, a trapdoor is generated and sent to the cloud for searching over authorized encrypted files. The method aims to enable secure, efficient and flexible sharing of encrypted personal data on cloud storage.
RITA SECURE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL: APPLICATION TO SCADAcsandit
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have their own constrains and specifications. These systems control many of our critical industrial infrastructures, yet they are hardly secured. The biggest problem in securing these systems is the lack of cryptography support especially that most SCADA systems work in real-time which is not compatible with most cryptography algorithms. Additionally, a SCADA network may include a huge amount of embedded devices with little computational powers which adds to the cost of any security improvement. In this paper we present a new approach that would secure SCADA communications by coding information without the need of the complex cryptography algorithms. The reconfigurable information transmitter agent (RITA) protocol that we present does not need the already installed devices to be modified nor replaced, it only needs to add costless electrical chips to these devices. This approach can also be used to secure any type of communication that respects the protocol's constraints.

This document discusses enforcing multi-user security policies in cloud computing. It describes using key-policy attribute-based encryption (KP-ABE) to allow flexible and fine-grained access control of encrypted data stored on cloud servers. The database is encrypted using KP-ABE before being stored. A key management authority generates key sets for authorized users to decrypt portions of the database according to assigned access policies. This allows complex queries to be run on the encrypted database while protecting data confidentiality even from the cloud server.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes.

READ ON HOW TO FUTURE PROOFING TODAY’S SECURE SYSTEMS
1. 1
CRYPTOGRAPHIC AGILITY:
FUTURE PROOFING TODAY’S SECURE SYSTEMS
Cryptography is a fundamental building block of secure system design that security architects
use as part of a layered approach to keep information private, and protect systems against fake
communications. Potential attacks against networks and systems can be achieved by subverting
communications and introducing havoc using specially constructed false messages. These types
of attacks are safeguarded against when using proper modern cryptography to check the
authenticity of messages and guard their privacy.
Commercial systems that use encryption methods typically use only a handful of cryptographic
algorithms that are well studied by mathematicians who are responsible for designing the ciphers
and trying to break them. Outside of mathematics, cipher design is often viewed as a black art,
and it is difficult to discern the security merits of one algorithm from the next in an objective
way. Security designers therefore rely on a very small number of standards groups and
governments to specify cryptographic algorithms and the resulting standards tend to be rigid and
long lived.
A unique challenge of encryption standards is having to deal with future proofing their
effectiveness over time. While other types of technology standards tend to become outdated as
new and better technology takes its place, in the case of cryptography, the mathematics becomes
less secure over time by the virtue of researchers and cryptanalysts who are constantly
discovering new mathematical methods to solve problems faster, the types of problems on which
cryptography derives its security, and effectively breaking the cryptographic methods. In other
words, cryptography becomes weaker over time because mathematicians learn to be smarter.
This highlights a recurring problem in the security field in that security breaches occur very often
and need to be addressed over time. Security designers take a layered approach in dealing with
the high likelihood of a future breach and include safeguards, mechanisms and controls to
recover and repair the security posture of a system once a break has occurred. For instance, many
systems have a secure bootstrap mechanism that uses cryptographic keys stored in hardware to
authenticate new software that is installed into the system. In the event that a system is
compromised, a new and preferably fixed version of the system software can be installed to
recover the overall system security. Using cryptography permits these types of upgradable
systems to be fixed when a security hole is discovered. But what happens to a system if the
cryptography primitive is the broken component that needs to be upgraded?
Even the strongest modern cryptographic algorithms are not designed to be unbreakable. Instead
they are de- signed to balance effectively strong security with convenience and manageability.
2. 2
As a counter example, the cipher that is best known to be resilient to breaking is called the one-
time-pad, which is very strong, and also extremely difficult to use. One-time-pad requires keys
that are as long as the message attempting to be sent, making the scheme completely impractical
for modern encrypted communications.
Modern ciphers are designed to strike a balance between convenience and security. Once a
cipher has been well studied and accepted by the cryptographic community, it can be proposed
for use in cryptographic and protocol standards where the algorithm’s parameters are narrowed
and documented. At this point, the standard will de ne the security levels by specifying the
required minimum key sizes to be used during encryption operations. Standards will also
anticipate that security levels of ciphers will diminish over time, and so key sizes are specified
that allow for programmers and product vendors to tune the security level of the cipher higher as
computational and cryptanalytic methods improve over time. Higher level security standards, for
instance protocol standards like TLS, will also build in support for a number of ciphers which
can be used optionally or interchangeably. However, in order to control the number of
permutations by designers that implement the standard, algorithm support still tends to be rigid
in the sense that deviating from the handful of specialized algorithms and key sizes is either
difficult or impossible.
As standards proliferate and gain acceptance, application software and vendor products adopt the
protocol standard and often narrow the cryptographic options even further in order to limit
implementation complexity, and reduce time-to-market as well as support and maintenance
headaches.
In effect, this creates a value chain where cryptography standards are adopted by higher level
protocol standards for integration into application software and devices. Product vendors tend to
further narrow cryptographic options during their development cycle in order to limit
complexity. In the short term, limited complexity is good for security because less errors tend to
be made, however, the long term security posture of end products becomes limited with respect
to features that allow cryptographic ciphers and implementations to be changed over time.
THE AGING ENTRENCHMENT PROBLEM
Cryptographic algorithms have a shelf life, they do not maintain their security level over time,
instead they get weaker as time passes. Contrast this with the tendency for important secure
systems to become more rigid and entrenched over time. For instance, financial industry
payment systems are well known for implementing two-factor authentication schemes, like chip
and pin payment cards, however, once implemented and deployed to tens of thousands of
customers it becomes extremely difficult to change the cards which could be in a customer’s
hands for five years or longer.
Similarly, in the Industrial Internet of Things use case, where an autonomous sensor could be
installed in a remote location and expected to operate with secure communications over a period
of 10+ years. While a single device might be easy to retrieve and replace, it is much harder to
upgrade thousands of devices spread over a large geographic area.
3. 3
These types of long lived and highly distributed secure devices will often outlive the usefulness
of the cryptography that is built into them, and for security purposes will need to be replaced or
upgraded. Security architects often use protocol standards to justify their cryptography choices,
because choices are limited. Designers should be choosing ciphers that are robust enough for the
lifecycle of their long lived applications and systems, or implement a design that can
accommodate future security updates to protocols and cryptography as they age.
THE TRUSTED ORIGINATOR PROBLEM
Cryptography and security protocol standards are created by national and international standards
bodies, however, they are sometimes perceived to be influenced by governments. Some
governments are wary of foreign influence on the security found in commercial international
standards, and for certain use cases, a wary government might mandate the use of a custom
cryptographic algorithm for domestic use. Often this may involve starting with a well-known
standards based algorithm and making parameter changes, or making slight alterations to the
structure of the cipher. Regardless, the new resulting custom algorithm is much like a new
language in that it is not compatible with broad-based standard ciphers.
CHALLENGES OF NEW ENCRYPTION
New cipher introduction creates a number of challenges for many types of businesses that rely on
cryptography for privacy and authentication.
Government/industry regulators that do not trust standards based cryptography may have a desire
to mandate ciphers that were created domestically in order to avoid foreign influence and
potential back-doors. However, industry still needs commercial security tools and products in
order for the regulated companies to adopt and use the new ciphers in networks and systems. If
commercial off the shelf technology products do not support the custom ciphers, then companies
need to augment products with long and expensive custom development projects.
Governments tend to be the first to define and use custom ciphers, and they rely on government
integrators to add the custom ciphers to information security systems. This is often done for the
purposes of national security related projects where secrecy is of the utmost importance and
requires that the custom ciphers remain a guarded secret that is only known to cleared national
citizens. In this case, the dilemma is how to separate product procurement from state secret
cipher integration? Products are typically imported and stringently evaluated against security
criteria. If custom secret ciphers need to be integrated into the product, special care must be
taken to ensure that foreign nationals supplying security products are not privy to the
implementation details of the custom secret ciphers.
Software and hardware product vendors are also at a disadvantage when multiple customers
request slightly different variants of their products to support their custom cryptographic needs.
Product variants can cause product inventory headaches and complicate ongoing support and
maintenance of products over the long term, adding additional expenses to the bottom line.
IMPLEMENTING CRYPTOGRAPHIC AGILITY
4. 4
Cryptographic Agility is a design technique for allowing products, systems and protocols to
replace the cryptographic implementations over time. This can be accomplished in a variety of
ways, but like any other system, security systems are built using a variety of sub-components
working together, and all sub-components in the system need to be crypto agile.
Many low level security protocols have cryptographic agility built in, for instance, the popular
web security proto- col TLS/SSL allows for cipher suites to be changed, and X.509 digital
certificates can support new cryptographic algorithms.
If a system needs to simply be “future proofed” to allow new cryptography to be substituted at
some time in the future, then there are many solid security framework choices that product
makers and system designers can use to ensure cryptographic agility using manual
reconfiguration. Although manual reconfiguration is often not practical in today’s
communication systems.
Much more sophistication and care is required when dealing with cryptographic reconfiguration
in an automated fashion. For instance, in cases like payment card systems or Internet of Things,
there is typically a very large deployment of autonomous end-points, and visiting each device to
reconfigure cryptographic subsystems in a secure way is very impractical.
AUTOMATED CRYPTOGRAPHIC CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT
InfoSec Global’s Globus Multi-Crypto is an example of a platform security system that is
designed to automate the distribution and management of custom cryptographic implementations
across a diverse set of remote software and devices.
The product consists of a cryptographic toolkit that is built into end points, and a management
server infrastructure that remotely deploys and sets policy for cryptography usage. On the end-
point products, the toolkit includes a software agent that can receive, authenticate and securely
store custom cipher implementations. The toolkit is also responsible for dynamically linking
cryptographic code into applications at runtime, in accordance with cryptographic policies that
are provided remotely by the cryptographic management service.
In the case of the Aging Entrenchment Problem, a solution like Globus Multi-Crypto allows
large scale deployments of devices that are geographically spread out to stay current with
industry security requirements that change over time in systems that are intended to be long
lived. These long lived systems tend to become more expensive to support over time, if such a
system is intended to last 15+ years, crypto that is current today tends to become antiquated
within 5-10 years, Globus Multi-Crypto introduces managed cryptographic agility into long lived
applications to keep their security posture strong over time.
In the case of the Trusted Originator problem, a solution like Globus Multi-Crypto allows large
scale solutions to be developed and tested using standards based cryptography, and subsequently
permit customers with their own secret cryptography, to reconfigure the final system with their
own ciphers, after the system has been deployed on their own home soil. This permits non-
nationals to develop secure systems without the need for them to be privy to the internal national
secrets of their customers.
