cryptography Flashcards
What is cryptography?
To keep sensitive data confidential and its integrity
What is encryption?
It is the science behind hiding data
cryptography and security concepts types
Confidentiality - Encryption Integrity - hashing Availability -redundancy and fault tolerance Non-repudation -digital signature (digital certificate, token)
What is light weight cryptography?
used for lower power devices, and constrained devices (low processing power). To have very strong encryption that doesn’t need a lot of processing power.
What protocols used in Light weight cryptography?
Ciphers
-present and twine
What are quantum communications and computing?
These are still theoretical, and when this does become more common. there are encryption worries due to the ability to break that hardest.
Post-quantum
- resilient to quantum computing
What is block chain?
Distributed public ledger keep, done by using a block transaction information stored in blocks, can be verified and a hash is applied with a time stamp, each block is added to create a chain, every transaction can be verified
