When you work from the massages since Egypt nowadays with all the office the security of the data is responsibility of technological advance, easy communication, you as employee and the corporation to provide a Internet, emails, cloud storage, etc. is very safe network.

Working from home you have more asymmetric, symmetric and hybrid encryption. responsibility to keep the data and network secure The History of Encryption all the time. Key Terms ⎯ Asymmetric key, Cryptography, The Caesar cipher, also called a Caesar shift, Decryption, Encryption, Hybrid Encryption, Public gets its name from Julius Caesar, who occasionally Key, Symmetric Key. used this encoding method in his own private messages. As one of the most basic encryption INTRODUCTION techniques, the Caesar cipher works by replacing each letter in the original plaintext message with a Since the beginning of the times when people different letter based off a fixed shift of the started to communicate, they looked a way to hide alphabet (figure 1). the message from another person, enemy, country etc. Since then at war armies have been trying to keep any information they share from the enemy because this can be the leverage between winning or lost. If you share a battle strategic and your enemy managed to intercept the message, then the enemy have the advantage. There are several possibilities to exactly how encryption first started, but it is known that it did start in ancient Egypt. Figure 1 One of the beliefs of how encryption started is that Caesar cipher the Egyptians wished to preserve the secrecy of the religious rituals from the casual observer or another To encode a secret message using a Caesar reason is it might have been a political move to shift of 7 to the right.

  • N2N: a Layer Two Peer-To-Peer VPN
    N2N: A Layer Two Peer-to-Peer VPN Luca Deri1, Richard Andrews2 ntop.org, Pisa, Italy1 Symstream Technologies, Melbourne, Australia2 {deri, andrews}@ntop.org Abstract. The Internet was originally designed as a flat data network delivering a multitude of protocols and services between equal peers. Currently, after an explosive growth fostered by enormous and heterogeneous economic interests, it has become a constrained network severely enforcing client-server communication where addressing plans, packet routing, security policies and users’ reachability are almost entirely managed and limited by access providers. From the user’s perspective, the Internet is not an open transport system, but rather a telephony-like communication medium for content consumption. This paper describes the design and implementation of a new type of peer-to- peer virtual private network that can allow users to overcome some of these limitations. N2N users can create and manage their own secure and geographically distributed overlay network without the need for central administration, typical of most virtual private network systems. Keywords: Virtual private network, peer-to-peer, network overlay. 1. Motivation and Scope of Work Irony pervades many pages of history, and computing history is no exception. Once personal computing had won the market battle against mainframe-based computing, the commercial evolution of the Internet in the nineties stepped the computing world back to a substantially rigid client-server scheme. While it is true that the today’s Internet serves as a good transport system for supplying a plethora of data interchange services, virtually all of them are delivered by a client-server model, whether they are centralised or distributed, pay-per-use or virtually free [1].

  • Security & Savings with Virtual Private Networks
    Everybody’s connecting. Security & Savings with Virtual Private Networks In today’s New Economy, small businesses that might have dealt with just local or regional concerns now have to consider global markets and logistics. Many companies even have facilities spread across the country or throughout the world. At the same time security concerns of their network from hackers, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and sending data over the Internet have become more widespread. Whether companies have a local, national, or global presence, they all need one thing: a way to maintain fast, secure, and reliable communications wherever their offices and workers are located. Until recently, such communications were only available by using leased telephone lines to maintain a Wide Area Network (WAN). Leased lines enabled companies to expand their private network beyond their immediate geographic area. Moreover, a WAN provided advantages over a public network like the Internet when it came to reliability, performance, and security. Unfortunately, leased lines are expensive to maintain, with costs rising as the distance between the offices increases. As the popularity of the Internet grew, businesses turned to it as a cost-effective way to extend their networks. The continuing popularity with the Internet has led to the evolution of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). A VPN is a connection that allows private data to be sent securely over a shared or public network, such as the Internet. In fact, one of the driving forces behind VPNs is the Internet and its global presence. With VPNs, communication links between users and sites can be achieved quickly, inexpensively, and safely across the world.

  • Dynamic Cryptographic Hash Functions
    Dynamic Cryptographic Hash Functions William R. Speirs II and Samuel S. Wagstaff, Jr. Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS) Department of Computer Sciences, Purdue University Abstract. We present the dynamic cryptographic hash function, a new type of hash function which takes two parameters instead of one. The additional parameter, the security parameter, specifies the internal work- ings and size of the digest produced. We provide a formal definitions for a dynamic cryptographic hash function and for the traditional security properties, modified for dynamic hash functions. Two additional prop- erties, security parameter collision resistance and digest resistance, are also defined. The additional properties are motivated by scenarios where a dynamic hash functions more cleanly provides a solution to a typical cryptographic problem. Keywords: Hash function, dynamic hash function, security parameter. 1 Introduction In this paper we introduce a new type of cryptographic hash function that is a natural extension of traditional hash functions. We call this new type of hash function a dynamic hash function. Dynamic hash functions take a second input, besides the message, that specifies the level of security required from the func- tion. By changing the security parameter the function dynamically changes the way a digest is computed, hence the reason for the name. The change might be as simple as changing the number of rounds used for processing a message block or the size of the output of the function. Requiring a hash function to have a security parameter is advantageous for a number of reasons. First, it allows designers to more easily test functions by scaling down the number of rounds to a manageable number and then launching attacks against this reduced version.
