Study Notes
Security Objectives
- Confidentiality: Protecting information from unauthorized access.
- Integrity: Ensuring data changes only in authorized ways.
- Availability: Ensuring systems are functional and accessible to authorized users.
- Authenticity: Verifying the legitimacy of users and data sources.
- Accountability: Tracking actions to responsible entities for security breach analysis.
Security Attacks
-
Active Attacks: Modify or create false data:
- Replay: Re-transmitting captured data units for unauthorized effects.
- Masquerade: One entity pretending to be another, often involving other active attacks.
- Data Modification: Altering, delaying, or reordering legitimate data for unauthorized effects.
- Denial of Service: Preventing normal system use or management, possibly targeting specific systems or entire networks.
-
Passive Attacks: Eavesdropping or monitoring transmissions:
- Release of Message Contents: Monitoring unprotected communication channels.
- Traffic Analysis: Analyzing data transmission patterns.
Security Services
- Authentication: Confirms the identity of entities to enable tailored access rights.
- Access Control: Limits and manages access to systems and applications.
- Data Confidentiality: Protects transmitted data from passive attacks.
- Data Integrity: Ensures messages are received without alterations, duplications, or replays.
- Nonrepudiation: Prevents senders or receivers from denying transmitted messages.
