W5L2 - Symmetric Encryption Flashcards
What security does symmetric encryption supply?
Data confidentiality
Data integrity
Authentication
Symmetric Encryption Technique
Same key is used to both encrypt and decrypt data
What does unconditionally secure mean, relating to symmetric encryption
No matter how much cipher text is available, it will not contain enough info to determine the original
What does computationally secure mean, relating to symmetric encryption Computationally secure
Either the cost of breaking the cipher-text exceeds the value of the text or the time needed to break the cipher exceeds useful lifetime of the info
