Based on your knowledge in computer security, which cryptographic mechanisms would you implement in order to run the system as required and why? Explain how the chosen mechanism can be used. 2. Which cryptographic mechanisms would you implement in order to protect the usernames and passwords and why?
Let us consider an application where we need to run a secure
We are to receive very confidential information from our customers and keep them safe in our system. This information is sent to us in the softcopy forms. We are to protect our customers’ confidentiality even from ourselves, we are not to see the information they bring to us, or else the confidentiality is compromised. Your job as a
