Q & A
What is the significance of information security in modern business?
-Information security is crucial in modern business as data and information are considered vital resources, forming the lifeblood of commerce and transactions, and thus require protection against computer-related crimes and unauthorized access.
What are the three conditions that must be satisfied for secure ICT systems?
-The three conditions are privacy, authentication, and non-repudiability. Privacy ensures that data is accessible only to those with the right to access it. Authentication verifies the identity of users and parties in a transaction. Non-repudiability ensures that users cannot deny their actions or the sending of messages within the system.
What is the role of encryption in data security?
-Encryption plays a vital role in data security by transforming messages into a meaningless script called ciphertext using a cryptographic key, which can only be decrypted by someone possessing the same key, thus keeping the message secret from unauthorized access.
What are the two main types of encryption algorithms?
-The two main types of encryption algorithms are symmetric cryptography, which uses a single key, and asymmetric cryptography, which uses two keys, a public key and a private key.
Can you explain the Data Encryption Standard (DES)?
-The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a symmetric cryptography algorithm developed by IBM for the US government. It uses a single key for both encryption and decryption of data.
What is RSA cryptosystem and how does it work?
-The RSA cryptosystem is an asymmetric cryptography algorithm that is based on the principle of multiplying two large prime numbers to create a product that is difficult to factor back into the original numbers. It uses a pair of keys, a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
What is the purpose of a digital signature in the context of LSA cryptosystems?
-A digital signature in LSA cryptosystems serves as an authentication path, ensuring that the sender of a message cannot deny having sent it. It is achieved by encrypting the message with the sender's private key, which can only be decrypted by using the sender's public key.
What is a firewall and how does it protect a private network?
-A firewall is a system designed to protect a private network from external threats such as hackers, software viruses, and unauthorized access. It restricts access to the network and examines all incoming and outgoing messages, blocking those that do not meet specific security criteria.
What is the function of a proxy server in a firewall?
-A proxy server in a firewall acts as an intermediary between a web browser and a web server. It examines all data packets entering or leaving the private network, making decisions to accept or reject them based on an access control list and security policies.
What are some computer-based security measures mentioned in the script?
-Some computer-based security measures mentioned include authorization strategies, username and password combinations, smart cards, biometrics, and encryption techniques.
What is the importance of a secure working environment and proper backup in data security?
-A secure working environment and proper backup are essential for data security as they help protect against data loss, corruption, and unauthorized access. They ensure that data can be recovered in case of any security breaches or system failures.

🔒 Information Security Essentials
This paragraph delves into the criticality of information security in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of data as a valuable resource for modern businesses. It outlines the necessity of safeguarding data from the increasing threats of computer-related crime. The paragraph introduces three fundamental conditions for data security: privacy, authentication, and non-repudiability. It explains that data should be accessible only to authorized individuals and that parties involved in e-commerce transactions should have exclusive access to transactional data. The concept of authentication ensures that only rightful users can access systems, while non-repudiability guarantees that users cannot deny their actions within an information and communication technology (ICT) system. The paragraph also touches on various technical and non-technical solutions for securing data, including computer-based and non-computer-based security measures such as authorization strategies, encryption, and secure working environments.
🛡️ Encryption and Firewalls in Cybersecurity
The second paragraph focuses on encryption as a vital technology for maintaining the secrecy of messages from unauthorized access. It describes the process of encryption and decryption involving a cryptographic algorithm and a key, transforming readable messages into ciphertext and vice versa. The paragraph categorizes encryption algorithms into symmetric cryptography, exemplified by the Data Encryption Standard (DES), and asymmetric cryptography, highlighted by RSA and LSA cryptosystems. It explains how RSA uses the multiplication of large prime numbers to create keys, with private keys kept secret and public keys available to all. The LSA system is mentioned for its use in digital signatures, ensuring the authenticity of a message's sender. The paragraph concludes with an explanation of firewalls, which serve as a protective barrier for private networks against external threats such as hackers, viruses, and unauthorized access. Firewalls can be implemented in hardware or software and function by examining and controlling network traffic based on predefined security criteria.

lecture
this lecture is the continuation of the
previous lectures on
ict infrastructures and information
security focusing
on information security
data or information is increasingly
considered as
important resource as it may form the
lifeblood
of modern business and commerce it is
therefore
no surprise to find an increasing level
of computer related crime
and increasing numbers of technology
corrections to such
increase data security is becoming
critical issues for most businesses and
improves a fast range of technical and
non-technical solutions
to provide secure environment for
conducting a business
three conditions must be satisfied is
our privacy
authentication and non-repudiability
types means personal data or
transactionality data must be protected
only those who has
the right to access the data should be
given access to the data
in terms of data transmission only party
to the e-commerce transaction
should have access to the data about the
transactions
authentication means only those who has
the right to access
a system can be authenticated to access
the system as such uses of ict system
need
to be authenticated as well as the party
to
a business transactions messages should
only be exchanged
between parties whose identity have been
certified
by a reputable station on repudiability
means
users of an icc system should not be
able to deny
that he or she has used the system
or the senders of a message cannot deny
that he
or she has sent the message
data security is the process protecting
data from external threats these are
theft and fraud confidentiality privacy
integrity and availability security
measures
a computer-based and non-computer base
computer base are authorization strategy
username plus passwords smart card
biomatic and some other
techniques and encryptions photon

encryptions encryption is a very old
technology
for keeping message secret from
unauthorized access
to encrypt a message the message is
passed to a method or
an algorithm that transforms the message
using
a key cryptographic key into a
meaningless script called
cryptogram or ciphertext the ciphertext
can be sent to
the intended recipients the recipients
must have a key
to decrypt the ciphertext back to the
original message
observe this figure it shows the basic
encryption technology
there are two actors the sender and
receivers
to create a cipher text a sender
encrypts
a message and then pass this message
to a cryptographic algorithm with a key
the ciphertext
can be sent through a public network
like the internet to the center
even receiving the message in the form
of a subtext
the sender decrypts the message by
passing the message
to a cryptographic algorithm with key to
get the original message
encryptions algorithms can be classified
into
two types symmetric cryptography using
single key
or single key cryptography a well-known
symmetric category is ds
data encryption standard developed by
ibm for the us
government and the second one is
asymmetric cryptography or public key
this category using two keys or two keys
cryptography a well-known public key
cryptography is
rsa cryptosystems
lsa cryptosystems the rsa
crypto system is based on the principle
that
if two large prime numbers are
multiplied
the resulting number is hard to factor
back to its original numbers
in the rsa cryptosystem the two
numbers are keys namely private and
public keys
a private key must be kept secret while
a public key can be revealed to anyone
in the lsa crypto system a sender may
encrypt a message using his or her
private key
or public if a sends a message to b
before sending the message a encrypts
the message using the public keys of b
the message can only be decrypted by b
using b's private key this is called the
encryption part
of lsa cryptosystems
if a sends a message to be
and before sending the message a
encrypts
the message using his or her private key
then b can decrypt the message using
a's public key this is called
authentication
path which can be used as digital
signature
this means that the message is digitally
signed
by a note that he cannot deny that he or
she
has signed the message since the message
can only be decrypted
by using a public key
firewall is a system that attempts to
protect a private network
from hacker software virus data
corruption
or unauthorized access effectively
it restricts access to the private
network from
external users and may also be used to
prohibit
internal users from accessing selected
part of the private network
io walls can be implemented in both
hardware
and softwares or bots it typically
comprises
a proxy server which examines all
messages entering or leaving
the private networks and block tools
that do not match particular security
criteria
in a web environment a proxy server is a
computer systems
that sits between a web browser and a
web server
such a proxy server is likely to run
routers other communication softwares
and spatial programs known
as proxies one proxy
is normally normally assigned for each
internet service
such as http and ftb
when data packets from the external
environment reach the firewall
it checks the packets for details
of their source and destination it then
make a decision to accept or reject the
packets
depending on an inspection of an access
control list
and a set of associated security
controls this is the end of this video
