When it comes to digital steganography no stone should be left unturned in the search for viable hidden data. Although digital steganography is commonly used to hide data inside multimedia files, a similar approach can be used to hide data in archives as well. Steganography imposes the following data hiding rule: Data must be hidden in such a fashion that the user has no clue about the hidden message or file's existence. This can be achieved by

  • Study on a Known-Plaintext Attack on ZIP Encryption
    Study on a known-plaintext attack on ZIP encryption Dragos Barosan [email protected] February 8, 2015 Abstract The ZIP file format is one of the most popular compression format and it provides a stream cipher encryption for protecting data. A successful known plaintext attack has been developed since 1994, but there is no open source im- plementation for it. The research has focused on the feasibility of a successful, since the necessary plaintext is considered hard to obtain, and analyzed the al- gorithm. It has been found that, while difficult, plaintext can be found through varied resources. From an implementation point of view the algorithm contains sections that can be run in parallel, improving the execution speed. As future work, a full implementation of the algorithm is planned and it will be released as open source.

While information security is a pervasive need, relatively few mainframe professionals focus on data security as a discrete discipline, even though the mainframe is central to many applications and exposed to great risk. Moreover, the majority of mainframe focus has been on operational excellence, increasing the return on investment, as opposed to focusing on protection of the data assets it contains. As a result, many seasoned mainframe workers and managers could still benefit from a broader understanding of information security risks and remedies. WP-SZMS-030810 | 3 Spotlight on Mainframe Security: Data Protection at the Heart of the Enterprise Data Processing on the Mainframe Data security must start, not with the tools or techniques required to create it, but with an understanding of why it is necessary. In the earliest days of computing, data security consisted of no more than “Barney Fife” sitting at the door of the glass house, only letting those in whom he knew and trusted.
