Weak Encryption 6.1 Flashcards
1
Q
Strength of Encryption
A
Relatively depends on how easy or hard it is to brute force or access encrypted info with a particular cypher. The reality is everything can eventually be brute force, however it would impractical.
2
Q
Weak Algorithms
A
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) - Weak encryption because it had design flaws. Used much less these days.
Data Encryption Standard (DES) - only 56-bit keys
3
Q
Strong Algorithms
A
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
4
Q
Buff Weak Keys
A
You can make a weak key stronger by hashing it multiple times.
