CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION TO STEGANOGRAPHY Steganography is the science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient realizes there is a hidden message. In this technique‚ a secret message is hidden within an ordinary message and the extraction of it is done at its destination. The term steganography combines the two Ancient Greek words Steganos and graphein‚ where “steganos” means “covered‚ concealed‚ or protected” and “graphein”

128-Bit Encryption ISSC361 B002 American Military University 128-Bit Encryption Most Web browsers now use “128-bit encryption” to exchange data with secure Web sites. But what does this mean? In order for web browsers to exchange data with secure websites they now use 128-bit encryption. This means that there are 2128 different key combinations that an attacker would have to work his or her way through‚ assuming that the last key was the correct one‚ in order to find the right encryption

It can be used to encrypt data‚ create digital signatures‚ and help authenticating using Secure Shell and to provide a framework for public key cryptography. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the OpenPGP and S/MIME standards. Gpg4win is GNU Privacy Guard for Windows and Kleopatra is the certificate

The cryptocurrencies such as; Bitcoin‚ Ethereum‚ Litcoin and Ripple to name a few have taken the world by storm. The discussion of the essay will focus on defining what cryptocurrencies are‚ focusing on the most commonly used cryptocurrency Bitcoin and the differences among the ones mentioned above. Further‚ the focus will be on the implications for economic policy should cryptocurrencies become widely used. Such implications on economic activity‚ inflation‚ monetary policy and the exchange rate

Proposed Active Warden Model The covert channels are the intended network communication channels which leaks the secret information by exploiting process based workow. It use some sort of legitimate network communication strategies in order to make covert dialogue exchanges between the sender and the receiver parties by agreeing upon some predetermined communication workow. The covert channels are supposed to be legitimate to the rest of the network entities. Due to this other statistical analysis

To break a message encrypted with private-key cryptography‚ it requires either to exploit a weakness in the encryption algorithm‚ or to try an exhaustive search of all possible keys (brute force method). Increase in key size is an e ective remedy for this. If the key is large enough (e.g.‚ 128 bits)‚ such a search would take a very long time (few years)‚ even with very powerful computers. Private-key methods are ecient and dicult to break[21]. However‚ one major drawback is that the key must be

key space can be searched in approximately 22 hours [1]. International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) is a block cipher designed by Xuejia Lai and James L. Massey of ETH-Zürich and was first described in 1991. It is a minor revision of an earlier cipher‚ PES (Proposed Encryption Standard); IDEA was originally called IPES (Improved PES). IDEA was used as the symmetric cipher in early versions of the Pretty Good Privacy cryptosystem. IDEA was to develop a strong encryption algorithm‚ which

receiver to exchange their information over a network. There are basically two types of cryptography technique- Symmetric and Asymmetric. Symmetric key algorithm is also categorized into two parts Stream Cipher and Block Cipher. In this paper‚ we analyzed feasibility of Symmetric Key Block Cipher Encryption techniques for storage space with their advantages and disadvantages and also presented the possible attacks on these algorithms. The main objective of analyzing the feasibility for Storage space

this paper a theory of secrecy systems is developed. The approach is on a theoretical level and is intended to complement the treatment found in standard works on cryptography2. There‚ a detailed study is made of the many standard types of codes and ciphers‚ and of the ways of breaking them. We will be more concerned with the general mathematical structure and properties of secrecy systems. The treatment is limited in certain ways. First‚ there are three general types of secrecy system: (1) concealment

Cryptography is derived from the Greek words kryptos meaning “hidden” and graphien‚ meaning “to write/study”. The process of making and using codes to secure the transmission of information is called cryptography. Before modern era cryptography was synonymous to encryption but today cryptography is heavily based on mathematical theory and computer science practice. Cryptography today deals with the ways to transfer information in such a manner that no one beside the recipients can read what was actually
