Advanced Encryption Standard

Chapter 1 what is Blockchain? Basically, Blockchain is a system created essentially for the running of cryptocurrencies. Wikipedia defines a cryptocurrency as a digital asset that works as a medium of exchange and uses cryptography to secure all transactions and to control the creation of additional units of the currency. An example of such cryptocurrencies is the bitcoin. In this article, we will understand the following: • Basic meaning of blockchain • What it comprises of • How it…

in a form that is understandable to the human. This plain text will then undergo encryption, which is a technique that converts plain text into a form that is not understandable called cipher text. The cipher will then undergo transmission towards the receiving party. A particular encoding method forms the basis for choosing series of numbers or letters that thereafter form a key. This will form the basis for encryption and…

cryptographic systems fail. Two actions to take that can help you avoid common mistakes made with cryptographic software One action that a company can take to avoid some common mistakes made with cryptographic software is to avoid using their own encryption algorithms. When you have an in house cryptographic algorithm developer, it probably seems like a good idea to develop your own cryptographic algorithms. After all, how could you possibly break your own proprietary algorithm? Breaking an…

("Billions at stake"). The government is parasitically taking our privacy and always trying to take more from the people justifying that it is all in the name of national security. Mass surveillance is already put in place and now they want to ban encryption. The government 's surveillance system and attempted overreach is unjustified and there is a way to make everyone better off. Part of the concern of privacy is is whether the government should have the ability to collect the personal data…

Everyone has secrets they want to protect. Whether it is on computers, on paper, or verbal, secret communication has been around since humans could first communicate. Cryptography is the way we can transmit secret messages so that only the person it is meant for can understand it. The art of coding and decoding messages has progressed immensely through time, and has become increasingly difficult to break with the use of technology. Cryptography’s evolution has transformed the computing world…

for normal consumers.” It can be interpreted that few users will adopt the technology immediately. This paper explains what PGP encryption is and how it works, merit of PGP security, what makes difficulty of using PGP encryption, and its limitation. What is PGP encryption and how does it work? PGP is an abbreviation for “Pretty Good Privacy.” It is a hybrid encryption since PGP is a combination of some best features of both original and public key cryptography. If you encrypt the plaintext…

Introduction In the present times when we look at the Intelligence agencies, the first thing that strikes our mind is secrecy – the services must have the benefit of operational secrecy. Because the services work clandestinely and the nature of their tasks requires them to fulfil their obligations in secret, they are at odds with the principle of open society. In cases of these agencies, there arises a conflict between there operational need of secrecy and the democratic objective of…

In Kim, Kipling melded the genuine work of the Indian Survey Department with anecdotal English intelligence operations, which utilized Asian specialists with cryptonyms like The Mirza or E5, to develop a mixture association profoundly occupied with counterintelligence activities on the boondocks and inside the Indian subcontinent. Other than Colonel Creighton who, as Control, is normally English, Kipling's legends are all Asian: the Afghan stallion merchant, Mahbub Ali; the Indian master of…

to show them the harmful effects that surveillance can have. In order to do that, I have to provide some background. First, I need to explain encryption. Encryption is a fundamental part of today’s technology. It allows for secure exchange of data between two or more parties. Every time you buy something online or log in to your Facebook account, encryption keeps your credit card details and password safe. It does this by scrambling the information before sending it. Using a special set of…

Aegis Secure Key 3.0 has military grade full disk AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption and is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated. You unlock the drive by entering your 7-16 digit PIN before you connect it to your device that way hackers cannot use software on your device to capture your password, and it automatically locks when you unplug it. If an incorrect password is typed 20 consecutive times all the data and the encryption key are erased. It is also dust and water resistant as well as a wear…
