What Is A Digital Certificate?: Data Leaks

What is a digital certificate?
Digital certificate, also known as a public key certificate, is used to

cryptographically link ownership of a public key with the entity that
owns it. Digital certificates are for sharing public keys to be used for
encryption and authentication. Digital certificates include the public
key being certified, identifying information about the entity that owns
the public key, metadata relating to the digital certificate and a digital
signature of the public key created by the issuer of the certificate.
What are your privacy/security

concerns with Google?
Data Leaks
Google has done well historically, with its data security practices. However, it
hasn’t been perfect. Back in 2009, there was a bug in Google docs that
potentially leaked .05% of all documents stored in the service. While .
Cookies
Every time a user searches with Google, they receive a cookie in their computer.
This cookie gives Google information about the websites the person visits, and
their search history.
Tracking
Google uses its Analytics product, along with others, to determine a user’s
browsing path around the internet.
Gmail
Content of users’ Gmail messages is tracked to improve relevance and targeting
of ads, and to block spam emails.
CIA & NSA Ties
While the NSA refuses to confirm or deny the existence of any relationship
between the NSA and Google, privacy and civil rights advocates are concerned.
Google Chrome
Google’s Chrome browser is a privacy nightmare in itself, because all your
activity within the browser can then be linked to your Google account.
Describe three methods to implement
security on wireless Network.
Change the name of your default home
network
If you want to better secure your
home network, the first thing you
should do is to change the name of
your Wi-Fi network, also known as the
SSID (Service Set Identifier). While
giving your Wi-Fi a somewhat
provocative name such as “Can’t hack
this” may backfire at times, other
names such as “this is not a wifi” or
“too fly for a wifi” are perfectly
acceptable. Changing your Wi-Fi’s
default name makes it harder for
malicious attackers to know what
type of router you have. If a
cybercriminal knows the manufacturer
name of your router, they will know
what vulnerabilities that model has
and then try to exploit them. We
strongly advise not to call your home
network something like “John’s Wi-Fi”.
You don’t want them to know at first
glance which wireless network is
yours when there are probably three
or four other neighboring Wi-Fis.
Make sure you set a strong and unique password to secure
your wireless network
You probably know that every wireless router comes pre-set with a default
username and password, which is needed in the first place to install and connect
your router. The worst part: it’s easy for hackers to guess it, especially if they know
the manufacturer. So, make sure you change them both immediately. A good
wireless password should be at least 20 characters long and include numbers,
letters, and various symbols. Use this guide to set up a strong password for your
network. Friends coming over for a visit may complain about the unusual length of
your password, but this might discourage them from needlessly consuming your data
with boring Facebook or Instagram posts.
Increase your Wi-Fi security by activating network

encryption
Wireless networks come with multiple encryption languages, such as WEP, WPA, or
WPA2. To better understand this terminology, WPA2 stands for Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2 and is both a security protocol and a current standard in the industry
(WPA2 networks are almost everywhere) and encrypts traffic on Wi-Fi networks. It
also replaces the older and less secure WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and is an
upgrade to the original WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) technology. Since 2006, all
Wi-Fi-certified products should use WPA2 security. WPA2 AES is also a standard
security system now, so all wireless networks are compatible with it. If you want to
enable WPA2 encryption on your Wireless router, use these six steps. If you are using
a TP-Link wireless router, here’s how to secure your wireless network. The good
news is that the WPA3 is already here and will replace WPA2. The Wi-Fi Alliance
recently announced its next-generation wireless network security standard which aims
to solve a common security issue: open Wi-Fi networks. More than that, it comes
with security enhancements and includes a suite of features to simplify Wi-fi security
configuration for users and service providers.
Why is it dangerous to download files

from the internet?
It is very dangerous to download some
files from the internet because some
of the websites or files contains
different types of viruses like trojan
horse etc. that can harm your device
and memory also. So,be careful from
these types of websites
What is anti-phishing?
It is defined as a fraud attempt to
obtain sensitive credentials such as
username, password and financial
details from online users. Attackers
may target victim via phishing emails.
Clicking on such unsolicited emails,
you will land upon a counterfeit web
page that will appear genuine by its
look and feel. These websites float
fake offers to lure users & encourage
them to submit their financial &
personal information, which can be
misused by the attacker.
