Study Notes
- The lecture is about the OSI security architecture.
- The learner will be able to understand the difference between threats and attacks, the OSI security architecture, and security attacks, mechanisms, and services.
- Threats are potential dangers that might exploit vulnerabilities, and attacks are deliberate attempts to evade security services and violate security policies.
- The OSI security architecture deals with three components: security attacks, security mechanisms, and security services.
- Security attacks compromise the security of a system.
- Security mechanisms are used to detect, prevent, or recover from security attacks.
- Security services enhance the security of a system and counter security attacks, providing various services such as authentication, access control, data confidentiality, data integrity, and non-repudiation.
- Security attacks can be passive or active.
- Passive attacks do not require direct interaction with the system, while active attacks do.
- Security mechanisms include encryption, digital signatures, access control, data integrity, authentication, exchange traffic padding, routing control, and notarization.
