    difficult for a user to even determine what kind of security measures are implemented in the cloud. This section presents Cryptography, as one of the security measure that can be implemented. Cryptography techniques are defined as methods that protect the data by changing the format of the data, such that it can not be understood by unauthorized users. The objectives of cryptography are [9]: 1) Confidentiality This is the service that makes sure that the data is accessed by the owner of the data and

    Cryptography The practice and study in securing communication between parties in presence of potential adversaries. A cryptographic algorithm or cipher is a mathematical function used in a plaintext in the encryption and decryption process. A cryptographic algorithm works in combination with a key (number, word, or phrase) to encrypt the plaintext. The same plaintext also encrypts to different cipher text with the use of different keys. The core of modern cryptography is the construction and analyzation

    Question 6-1: Write a one half page description of the use of substitution ciphers and transposition ciphers. Use the rot13 encoding algorithm to encode the following sentence: It is critical for network administrators to understand cryptography. There are several websites that will encrypt in rot13. Answer 6-1: Substitution ciphers are a method of encryption by which units of plaintext are substituted with ciphertext according to a regular system; the "units" may be single letters (the

    information is Cryptography, which is the focus of this paper. Cryptography is a science that transforms information into secure form by providing basic protections. These protections include confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authentication, and Nonrepudiation (Ciampa 189). Let’s understand the characteristics of information and their description (see table 1). The term “Cryptography” was originated from Greek. In Greek “Crypto-” means hidden and “-grapy” means writing. Simply, cryptography means

    you should understand the following about cryptography. Identify and describe the three types of cryptography Symmetric cryptography is based upon the idea of a common mystery or key. Asymmetric cryptography is based upon a key that can be made transparently accessible to the general population, yet still give security. One-way, or hashing, cryptography takes information and enciphers it. Be that as it may, there is no real way to disentangle it and no key List and describe current cryptographic

    Abstract—Internet of Things (IoT) nodes create vulnerabilities exposed to malicious software attacks. Thus, security is necessary to maintain growth in the IoT technology. This paper will focus on the use of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as a digital authenticator for use in the IoT. Although ECDSA improves security, it comes at the cost of computational complexity in comparison to authentication methods that use ciphers that are symmetric or simple hashes. This complexity often
