in the copy, and other employee would have not had the ability to run this query. The attacker used job listing sites to narrow down what software Anthem uses to house their data; from their they used this public information to sort out over 100 employees that had access to this data. The attacker then used malware to get a hand full of employee’s credentials. Even though it is said that to keep all the personal information stored in Anthem’s computer system encrypted would have not stopped or prevented this attack because these attackers had done their research and knew what credentials they would need to perform the attack, no matter how the information was stored they still would have been able to access it. The one thing that could have been done is using cryptography for all the employee’s, especially those whom can use their credentials to perform special task.…

Symmetric Cryptography In every work station, there is a key which encrypts the data whenever shared it over the internet to another work station. Sender encrypts the data and sends it to another computer. Receiver decrypts the code with the same key. The main problem here is not with the data, but with the distribution of key. There are some problems with key sharing. In case you 're ready to give that key safely, Will the key can keep the full data safely? Each individual whom need to have…
Introduction RSA is a type of cryptography that is use for encrypting and decrypting of messages. It was created by Ronald L. Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard M. Adleman in the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman) is named after the three inventors. RSA is still widely used for securing the confidentiality and authenticity of an e-mail. It is also use to secure communication through the internet. It is particularly useful when conducting e-commerce.…
RQ 4 A one-way function is an algorithm or a function that is used to turn a piece of text into a fixed string of digits and is nearly impossible to reverse the process. In cryptography, a one-way function is used to create digital signatures which are used to identify, and authenticate the sender and the message. RQ 5 The Deffie Hellman key exchange uses the simple concept of prime numbers to generate a list of security keys for use in public…
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…
Only one single key is saved in the nodes ' memory and once enforced in the network, there is no requirement for a node to perform key exchange or key discovery, however, all the nodes in communication coverage area can transfer messages employing the key which they already share. On the other side, this strategy suffers a serious disadvantage that adjustment of a single node would lead compromise of the whole network by the shared key. Hence it fails in offering the basic secure need of a…
dispersed among servers would be to replace a share of the file F with some other string. So in order to know if data is modified or not, key generation from the image [54] is performed on the shares of secret before sending data on servers. For understanding key generation, [54] should…
itself. There are two key concepts in designing for testability: Controllability and Observability. Controllability refers to the ability to apply test patterns to the inputs of a sub circuit via the primary inputs of the circuit. Observability refers to the ability to observe the response of a subcircuit via the primary inputs or at some other output points. Testing requires access to the internal workings of the device under test (DUT). This is in conflict with the need for secrets to be…
Holmes/Scarpetta Project- The Valley of Fear What discipline was involved? Digital Forensics (cryptology)- The process of encrypting messages and examining digital media forensically to find, analyze, and present facts and opinions. What was the equipment used? The ciphers represent the pages of previous editions of Whitaker's Almanack. The first number represented the page number in the Almanac. The second number, C2, was the column number on the page in the book. The numbers that…
