Study Notes
Cryptographic Applications and Concepts
- Vast majority of network-based symmetric cryptographic applications utilize Block Ciphers for data encryption.
- The scheme known as a One-Time Pad employs a random key that is as long as the message, encrypting it uniquely and then discarded after a single use.
- Unauthorized Disclosure of Information refers to the breach of confidentiality, where sensitive data is exposed to individuals without permission.
- Authentication is the process of verifying user identities as well as ensuring that inputs are from a trusted source, thereby establishing trust within the system.
Security Fundamentals
- The CIA Triad embodies three core security objectives: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, essential for safeguarding data and computing services.
- The general approach using distinct Monoalphabetic Substitutions during encryption is known as a Polyalphabetic Substitution Cipher, enhancing security through varied mappings throughout the plaintext.
Message Concealment and Encryption Techniques
- The method that hides a message within a graphic image is known as Steganography, concealing data in media to prevent detection.
- Feistel Network refers to a structure that maximizes possible encryption mappings from plaintext blocks, allowing for complex transformations during the encryption process.
Cryptographic Methodologies
- Nyberg’s approach involves a Manual Cipher, characterized by its simplicity and reliance on straightforward mathematical operations for encryption and decryption.
- An action that compromises the security of information owned by an organization is termed a Security Breach, which can lead to unauthorized access or data leaks.
