processing.

12)The correct syntax to be written in the web browser to Telnet to www.affairscloud.com is

telnet://www.affairscloud.com. Telnet is a Remote Login.

World Wide Web

Public Key Cryptography (PKC): Uses one key for encryption and another for decryption
Hash Functions: Uses a mathematical transformation to irreversibly “encrypt” information

13)There are of course a wide range of cryptographic algorithms in use. The following are amongst the
most well known:
DES
This is the ‘Data Encryption Standard’. This is a cipher that operates on 64-bit blocks of data, using a 56-
bit key. It is a ‘private key’ system.

RSA
RSA is a public-key system designed by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman.

HASH
A ‘hash algorithm’ is used for computing a condensed representation of a fixed length message/file.
This is sometimes known as a ‘message digest’, or a ‘fingerprint’..

MD5
MD5 is a 128 bit message digest function. It was developed by Ron Rivest.

AES
This is the Advanced Encryption Standard (using the Rijndael block cipher) approved by NIST.

SHA-1
SHA-1 is a hashing algorithm similar in structure to MD5, but producing a digest of 160 bits (20
bytes).Because of the large digest size, it is less likely that two different messages will have the same
SHA-1 message digest. For this reason SHA-1 is recommended in preference to MD5.

HMAC
HMAC is a hashing method that uses a key in conjunction with an algorithm such as MD5 or SHA-1. Thus
one can refer to HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA1.

Security In The Internet

1) IPSec is designed to provide the security at the network layer.

2)In tunnel mode IPsec protects the entire IP packet.

3)Network layer firewall works as a packet filter.

4)Network layer firewall has two sub-categories as stateful firewall and stateless firewall.

5)WPA2 is used for security in wi-fi.

6)An attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users is called denial-of-service
attack.

7)Extensible authentication protocol is authentication framework frequently used in wireless networks.

8)Pretty good privacy (PGP) is used in email security.

9) PGP encrypts data by using a block cipher called international data encryption algorithm.

10) When a DNS server accepts and uses incorrect information from a host that has no authority giving
that information, then it is called DNS spoofing
