    False Sense of Security

    A false sense of security is worsethan a true sense of insecurity.

    Solution:

    Vulnerable Systems

    The systems are vulnerable Mainly because of bad coding

    Must be patched (but can not be done

    rapidly as they should) False sense of security

    The Attacker/Intruder

    The attacker can be called as:

    Lamer, intruder, attacker

    (wrongly used as hacker also) Also secret organizations? Also companies

    Will not stop until he/she gets in

    Can use the computer for days long sleepless

    Encryption

    Encryption is the conversion of data

    into a form, called a ciphertext, that

    cannot be easily understood byunauthorized people.

    (Encryption x Decryption)

    Encryption

    Two different methods (according to key use) Conventional Two keys are the same

    Asymetric (Public Key Encryption)

    Key pair (public, private)

    Encryption

    To decyrpt an encrypted data

    How much time?

    How much Processing (Computing power)?

    The science which deals with encryption is
