Encryption

  • Write 4–6 pages that describe the encryption-related functions available to the business in the case study that support the security and efficiency of its new network.
    • Describe the different forms of encryption most commonly applied in specific situations, including:
      • Access controls, flow control, cryptography, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, et cetera.
      • Applications of cryptography (National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance/Cyber Defense, 2013).
      • Hashing and encryption.
      • Cryptography.
      • For integrity.
      • Certificates.
      • Public key infrastructure.
      • Symmetric cryptography (DES, Twofish).
    • Describe the information flow between databases and servers, and applications
    • Describe the role that encryption plays in securing these information flows.
    • Analyze hashing and encryption properties and applications, including:
      • Classical cryptanalysis (a la Konheim).
      • Hashing and signatures.
      • Collision resistance.
      • Cryptography.
      • Hashing and encryption.
    • Explain how encryption can contribute to mitigating risks due to inference and aggregation.
    • Discuss the history of encryption from DES through AES.
    • Differentiate between symmetric and asymmetric encryption methodologies.
    • Describe commonly used examples of symmetric encryption.
    • Describe commonly used examples of asymmetric encryption.

    Additional Requirements
