especially with the invention and use of dangerous technology such as encryption. Encryption works by using complex mathematical algorithms to scramble the contents of a file or message to another form, called ciphertext, which renders it unreadable to outside parties. Various encryption algorithms, many of which are unbreakable, are available for free public use around the world. Unimpeded public access to technology such as encryption gives unethical people the opportunity to abuse its power…
physical attack on the actual Zigbee device. Zigbee devices are not very secure. They often store the network key information in plain text without encryption or password protection. Simple AT commands can often be used to retrieve this information if the device is physically accessible. All Zigbee devices in the network have access to the encryption keys so that packets can be encoded and decoded. As a result, an attacker only needs to find the weak link in the network and exploit it to gain…
Security and integrity, as well as the privacy of user data, remain an important aspect of any computing-related business. Considering that all businesses have turned to technology in a bid to enhance efficiency, it is common to face security related issues. Cloud robotics which is one of the algorithmic processes is a good example of what can be attained using algorithms. This paper is bent on focusing on practical differences in which algorithms are used in solving problems (phishing) through…
Android version greater than 3.0 supports whole disk encryption. Though it is not mandatory and only if the user chooses to encrypt the device he can do so from the device settings. Device Encryption has become mandatory for Android’s latest version 5.0. Various cryptographic algorithms are used for encryption. It also uses hardware based storage for the key using Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) signing capability. It uses 128 bit AES as the encryption algorithm with Cipher Block Chaining…
Carry On is a good source of knowledge that gave deep information in the sense of security, it is a great help for readers who are in different fields other than information security. Bruce Schneier has very intimate knowledge about the topic of security. After reading the book we can find the vast information in different ways. The psychology of security is the chapter that is beautiful and meaningful and provides experimental information to the reader, Bruce relates the human mindset and human…
