INTRODUCTION
The Internet or the global Internet is the internationally
connected network of computer networks with addresses
that are administrated by IANA (Internet address and
Naming Authority).
There are many aspects to security and many applications,
ranging from secure commerce and payments to private
communications and protecting passwords. One essential
aspect for secure communications is that of cryptography.
What is Cryptography?
Cryptography derived its name from a Greek word
called “krypto’s” which means “Hidden Secrets”.
Cryptography is the practice and study of hiding
information. It is the Art or Science of converting a
plain intelligible data into an unintelligible data and
again retransforming that message into its original form.
It provides Confidentiality, Integrity, and Accuracy.
PURPOSE OF CRYPTOGRAPHY
Authentication: The process of proving one's
identity. (The primary forms of host-to-host
authentication on the Internet today are name-based or
address-based, both of which are notoriously weak.)
Privacy/confidentiality: Ensuring that no one can
read the message except the intended receiver.
Integrity: Assuring the receiver that the received
message has not been altered in any way from the
original.
Non-repudiation: A mechanism to prove that the
sender really sent this message.
Architecture of Cryptography
Types of Cryptography
Secret Key Cryptography
• Single key used to encrypt and decrypt.
• Key must be known by both parties.
• Assuming we live in a hostile environment (otherwise -
why the need for cryptography?), it may be hard to
share a secret key.
Public Key Cryptography
One of the keys allocated to each person is called the
"public key", and is published in an open directory
somewhere where anyone can easily look it up, for
example by email address.
Each entity has 2 keys:
Private Key (a secret)
Public key (well known).
Using Keys
Private keys are used for decrypting.
Public keys are used for encrypting.
Process of cryptography
TYPES OF CRYPTOGRAPHIC
ALGORITHMS
Public/Private Key
Cryptography
Asymmetric key cryptography overcomes the key
management problem by using different encryption and
decryption key pairs. Having knowledge of one key, say
the encryption key, is not sufficient enough to determine
the other key - the decryption key.
The mathematical relationship between the
public/private key pair permits a general rule: any
message encrypted with one key of the pair can be
successfully decrypted only with that key's counterpart.
Hash functions
Is a type of one-way function this are fundamental
for much of cryptography.
A one way function - is a function that is easy to
calculate but hard to invert.
It is difficult to calculate the input to the function
given its output.
The precise meanings of "easy" and "hard" can be
specified mathematically. With rare exceptions,
almost the entire field of public key cryptography
rests on the existence of one-way functions.
Attacks of Cryptography
Cipher text only attack
The only data available is a target cipher text
Known plaintext attack
A target cipher text
Pairs of other cipher text and plaintext (say, previously broken or
guessing)
Attacks of cryptography…
Chosen plaintext attacks
A target cipher text
Can feed encryption algorithm with plaintexts and obtain
the matching cipher texts
Chosen cipher text attack
A target cipher text
Can feed decryption algorithm with cipher texts and obtain
the matching plaintext matching cipher texts
CONCLUSION
We use different types of algorithms to establish
security services in different service mechanisms.
We use either private key cryptography or public key
cryptography according to requirement.
If we want to send message quickly we use private
key algorithm and if we want to send messages
secretly we use public key algorithm.
