  20. Encryption By Patrick O’ Mahony

  21. Encryption • The Internet has grown at an incredibly fast rate and has excited both consumers and businesses with promises of changing the way we live and work. Lets be honest, there is a lot of information that we would not like other people to see, such as: • Bank Account Details • Credit Card Information • Social Security Number • Personal E-Mails • Employee or Business Records

  22. Encryption • E-Business relies on the ability to send and receive information securely. • Internet and computer security comes in a variety of methods but the most popular effective ones all rely on encryption. This process encodes information in such a way that only the person or computer with the “Key” can decode it.

  23. Encryption • Encryption is based on the ancient science of cryptography.

  24. Encryption • Computer encryption systems are divided into two categories: • Public-Key Encryption • Symmetric-Key Encryption

  25. Encryption • Public-Key Encryption –

  26. Encryption • Symmetric-Key Encryption –

  27. Encryption • Authentication – • This process works in tandem with encryption to create a secure environment on your computer. There are several ways to authenticate a person or their information on a computer – • Passwords • Digital Signatures • Biometrics

  28. Encryption • Biometrics uses biological information to verify the user’s identity. Some methods of Biometrics are : • Voice Identification • Face Scan • Retina Scan • Fingerprint Scan

  29. Encryption • Some good links – • www.entrust.com • www.pgp.com • www.ssh.fi/tech/crypto/intro.html • www.tatanka.com • www.elock.com • www.qmw.ac.uk
