Which is a greater threat to encryped traffic- human misuse of the cip.docxSUKHI5
Which is a greater threat to encryped traffic: human misuse of the cipher or use of a cipher with a theoretical exploit? Justify your position
Solution
Cryptography is one of the more advanced topics of information security, and one whose understanding requires the most schooling and experience. It is difficult to get right because there are many approaches to encryption, each with advantages and disadvantages that need to be thoroughly understood by web solution architects and developers. In addition, serious cryptography research is typically based in advanced mathematics and number theory, providing a serious barrier to entry.
The proper and accurate implementation of cryptography is extremely critical to its efficacy. A small mistake in configuration or coding will result in removing a large degree of the protection it affords and rending the crypto implementation useless against serious attacks.one-time pads provide no message authentication, the lack of which can pose a security threat in real-world systems.
Cryptanalysis is the art of breaking codes and ciphers. The Caesar cipher is probably the easiest of all ciphers to break. Since the shift has to be a number between 1 and 25,can simply try each possibility and see which one results in a piece of readable text. If you happen to know what a piece of the ciphertext is, or you can guess a piece, then this will allow you to immediately find the key.
If this is not possible, a more systematic approach is to calculate the frequency distribution of the letters in the cipher text. This consists of counting how many times each letter appears. Natural English text has a very distinct distribution that can be used help crack codes.
The effectiveness of every SOC is based on their ability to discover, ingest, analyze, respond to, and pivot off threat intelligence and, historically, an ad-hoc spreadsheet combined with a day of analyst muscle was manageable to maintain and chase IOCs. However, over the past several years, as crowdsourcing intelligence has become mainstream, the volume of IOCs released by cyber intelligence providers.
