ESTABLISHED WAYS TO ATTACK EVEN THE BEST ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM

Which solution is the best – public key or private key encryption? This question cannot have a very rigorous, logical and definitive answer, so that the matter be forever settled :). The question supposes that the two methods could be compared on completely the same indicators – well, from my point of view, the comparison is not very relevant. Encryption specialists have demonstrated that the sizes of public key encrypted messages are much bigger than the encrypted message using private key algorithms. From this point of view, we can say that private key algorithms are more efficient than their newer counterparts. Looking at the issue through the eyeglass of the security level, the public key encryption have a great advantage of the private key variants, their level of protection, in the most pessimistic scenarios, being at least 35 time higher. As a general rule, each type of algorithm has managed to find its own market niche where could be applicable as a best solution and be more efficient than the other encryption model.Encryption, decryption, key, cryptanalysis, brute-force, linear, differential, algebra

SOME LEGAL AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS RELATED TO POSSIBLE INTERNET’S THREATS ON THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO PRIVATE PROPERTY

Once an individual uses the modern means of payment, the credit cards, he must be aware of the possible issue that might come out. Even more, when using these “plastic money” in the online environment provided by the omnipresent world wide web one must be aware that there are enough risk involved. The commodity and easy that came with the use of the credit card also brought us new threats, new ways in which our privacy and property might be affected.Internet, privacy, property, cybercrime, credit card frauds

Optimizing Anti-Phishing Solutions Based on User Awareness, Education and the Use of the Latest Web Security Solutions

Phishing has grown significantly in volume over the time, becoming the most usual web threat today. The present economic crisis is an added argument for the great increase in number of attempts to cheat internet users, both businesses and private ones. The present research is aimed at helping the IT environment get a more precise view over the phishing attacks in Romania; in order to achieve this goal we have designed an application able to retrieve and interpret phishing related data from five other trusted web sources and compile them into a meaningful and more targeted report. As a conclusion, besides making available regular reports, we underline the need for a higher degree of awareness related to this issue.Security, Phishing, Ev-SSL, Security Solutions

Steganalysis - looking for the hidden Information

The goal of steganography is to avoid drawing suspicion to the transmission of a hidden message. If suspicion is raised, then this goal is defeated. Discovering and rendering useless such covert messages is a new art form known as steganalysis. In this paper, we provide an overview of some characteristics in information hiding methods that direct the steganalyst to the existence of a hidden message and identify where to look for hidden information.codes, hidden message, steganography
