Essay (Conclusion)

Cryptography is an effective method of preventing using data by unauthorised people to save personal information. There is a massive development which improves the quality of security programmes. Cryptography began many years ago as it took part in the military, at present the main function of if, is to secure stored data. I think that now it would not be possible to survive without cryptography as this method of security is present in everyday life, when accessing sources such as banks as well as in national security which acts in the best interest of the society.

    Hi

    It seems that you have very few entries after continuous assessment.

    Please do not fall behind and keep blogging and updating posts because please do remember the final assessment is solely based on the content of your blog.

    We have to put additional effort to ensure we have more than the minimum required posts, with great detail, references, images, diagrams, tables, charts and even videos.


    Please complete pending work as we have discussed previously and start working upon case study.


    Many thanks

SSL Asymmetric Encryption (Diagram 2)

Image
SSL Cryptography bases two types of encription, which is Asymmetric Encryption and Symmetric Encryption (Johansen, 2020). Asymetric Encription: This type of encryption is the most popular one, which is using usually. In this technology, client and server to connect use two different keys, public and private. Public key is using only for encryption. It means, anyone can use this key to encrypt the message. Private key is secret and is using only for decryption.   Asymmetric encryption (Author's work) Resources: Johansen, A., 2020. What Is Encryption And How Does It Protect Your Data? .

Opinion about safety (Survey Analysis)

Image
In my questionnaire, I asked people about their feeling of internet safety. The question was "How safe do you feel with using internet services?" Author's work, 1 - not safe, 5 - very safe         As we can see, the majority of the group is feeling safe on the Internet. Only 6 of the responders are feeling completely safe, which is negative, because they may be less focused during using the Internet, which can cause an opportunity to be charmed by hackers. Development of cybersecurity technologies is possibly a reason, why nobody feels completely unsafe on the Internet. Author's work, 1 - not safe, 5 - very safe   However, the general feeling of safety on the Internet is not related to using online payments. As we can see in the diagram, more people are worried about their safety in case of online payments. Comparison of these 2 diagrams may suggest, people are more worried about their money, than their sensitive data such as name, address, location etc.

How Ransomware attack works? (Models & Methodologies)

Image
The history of ransomware attacks starts in 1989. The first known attack targeted the healthcare industry (De Groot, 2020). Currently, ransomware attacks are one of the most popular cyber attacks. It is as one of the biggest threats to cybersecurity (Thomas, 2019).   Ransomware is a type of malware, which is basing on files encryption. To do this type of attack, hackers are using different software. However, the method of the attack is usually the same.     Ransomware attack process (The Asean Post, 2019)       1. Spam attachment The most popular method of spreading ransomware is sending the email spam with infected link or attachment inside. Usually, a message in the email is telling an action is required. For example, the hacker is sending an email with an infected file named as "invoice" to the business owner (De Groot, 2020).    2. Malware execution The user, which is aware of receiving infected email is opening the attachment. The virus start...
