Nt1310 Unit 7 Communication And Information Security

Brief Summary The beginning of chapter 5 discusses the importance of cryptography and the legislative issues that surround government access. The debate of whether the government should have access to all encryptions we use, ultimately giving them total ability to read all communication to help fight crime and terrorism or if that is a breach of personal space. As the text attests to, "the tension between enabling secure conduct of electronic commerce and preventing secret communication among outlaws had been in the air for a decade" (Abelson, Ledeen, and Lewis 163). Later however, the government turned to helping citizens and businesses encrypt their messages to ultimately keep more information secure through packets from the construction of a system of routers (Abelson, Ledeen, and Lewis 164). However as technology has improved, the ability to create new encryption systems is
As Matt Hottell mentioned, if we were to play a computer game online where profile information has to be kept private in order to maintain all of the credits on an account, security is everything. While online, the information that we process is heavily encrypted to keep confidential material out of the hands of people that shouldn’t have access to it. Every time we have to change our index page htmls for an assignment, we have to log into our personalized servers with passwords. The reason for these passwords is because the information and permissions we have access to should be given to everyone, and therefore the information we have is encrypted from others. As it has become increasingly apparent, our everyday cyber footprint involves many interactions with some sort of encryption. Because of this, most of everything we discuss in class can be considered relevant to the importance of cryptography and/or
