A government organization decides that in order to protect the communications it has with its international partners, encryption is necessary. In a discussion with its equivalents, it is decided to develop a proprietary cryptographic algorithm for the following reasons: Is this decision supported by any evidence. What dangers are being exposed?
A government agency comes to the conclusion that it must use encryption in order to safeguard the communication that takes place between itself and its overseas counterparts. It is determined to design a proprietary cryptographic algorithm for this reason during a meeting with its counterparts, and this will be done in order to: Is there a justification for this choice. What risks are being taken?
In cryptography, the process of encrypting data is called the "salt" operation. You'll need to describe how it's put to use to make passcodes harder to crack.
Is it possible to use software on a desktop computer to make secret keys for use in cryptographic protocols in a way that keeps them safe and lets them be used?
Is it possible to generate secret keys for use in cryptographic protocols on a desktop computer using software in a secure manner such that they may be used?
Is it feasible to produce safe secret keys on a desktop computer for use in cryptographic protocols using software?
Using public-key cryptography or another kind of asymmetric encryption is a good idea. Proof of this may be seen in the use of public keys in cryptography.
Is it feasible to produce secret keys for use in cryptographic protocols on a desktop computer using software in such a safe way that they can be utilised, and is it viable to do so on a desktop computer?
A government department decides it needs to use encryption to protect communication between itself and its international counterparts. At a meeting with its counterparts, it is decided to develop a proprietary cryptographic algorithm for this purpose. Is this decision justifiable? What risks are being taken?
A government department decides it needs to use encryption to protect communication between itself and its international counterparts. At a meeting with its counterparts, it is decided to develop a proprietary cryptographic algorithm for this purpose. a) Is this decision justifiable? b) What risks are being taken?
Is it feasible to securely produce secret keys on a desktop computer for use in cryptographic protocols using software?
Public-key cryptography, or another kind of asymmetric encryption, is strongly suggested. Proof of this may be seen in the use of public keys in cryptography.
