Methods Of Security Across Internet Flashcards
Why encryption
Makes data unreadable so that ur keeps data secure when it is encrypted so if it is intercepted it becomes meaningless as it makes no sense
Keys public / private
Two keys connected by mathematical formula
Data is encrypted with public and needs corresponding private key to decrypt it
Digital signature
Part of message that is encrypted should be decrypted first as it says who it sent form to confirm who the sender is who they say are used to stop people sending fake messages
Digital certificate what is it
Thus is a an encrypted message provided by certification authority that confirms the user is who they claim to be in online communication . It is better than digital signature as it is proven . A ssl certificate is purchased from certification authority and confirms if they say who are they To be true or not
HTTPS
Hypertext transfer protocol secure
SSL secures sockets layer
Protocol to open secure link channel between 2 devices
Both public key and private key used together with digital certificates used to stop hackers entering or malien sure they are nit know who they say they are
SSL how it happens
Client requests ssl connection
Server answers and provides certificate containing public key
Client validâtes the certificate and public key
Computer generated session key and submits to server serve is decrypted with session key and ssl is established
Client side
Processing done when web page gets to client processes some of data through validation and making error messages
Server side
Server processes all the data for example subtracting money from bank accounts
