1 Foundations of Security

Since the inception of technology, data security has revolved around cryptography. Since cryptography is only as good as the ability of a person or a program, new methods are constantly being implemented as technology becomes more sophisticated.

Differentiating Security Threats

Cipher text and secret keys are transported over the network and can be harvested for analysis, as well as impersonate a source or, worst case, cause a service denial. Thus, aiding encryption and complex distribution methods, a network needs to be secure and elegant. That is, the network should have applicable appliances that monitor and detect attacks, intelligence that discriminates ...
