PRESENTED BY: PRADEEP KUMAR SUBJECT: Cryptography and Network Security (PECIT801B ) UNIVERSITY ROLL NO. :10900220021 CLASS ROLL NO. :21 STREAM :IT SEC :'A' SEM:-(VIII) Introduction to Cryptography and Network Security
Cryptography and network security play a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive
information in the digital age. They involve the implementation of algorithms and protocols to secure communication and prevent unauthorized access. Basic Concepts of Cryptography Ancient Techniques Early cryptography methods were used to encode messages, making them unreadable to anyone except those with the decryption key. Modern Encryption Today's cryptography involves complex algorithms and mathematical principles to ensure secure data transmission and storage. Applications
Cryptography is applied in various fields, from secure communication
and online banking to digital signatures and blockchain technology. Symmetric Key Encryption 1 Single Key System Symmetric key encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, ensuring fast and efficient data processing. 2 Data Confidentiality It focuses on keeping data secure from unauthorized access and maintaining privacy during transmission and storage. 3 Security Algorithms Modern symmetric encryption algorithms include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and DES (Data Encryption Standard). Asymmetric Key Encryption Key Pair Generation Asymmetric encryption involves the creation of a key pair: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. Digital Signatures It enables the verification of the sender's identity and ensures data integrity through the use of digital signatures. Secure Communication By using asymmetric encryption, secure communication channels can be established without the need for prior key exchange. Network Security Protocols Firewalls Firewalls act as a barrier between internal and external networks, filtering network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
VPNs create a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.
SSL/TLS Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols provide secure communication over the internet, particularly for web browsing, email, and file transfers. THANK YOU
