Polymorphic viruses that mutate overtime and may guard itself with an encryption that automatically alters itself when certain conditions are met. This makes it harder to detect. Resident viruses are those that insert itself into the memory

without necessarily knowing the key or the algorithm. This is known as breaking the cipher, ciphertext, or cryptosystem. Breaking is sometimes used interchangeably with weakening. This refers to finding a property (fault) in the design or implementation of the cipher that reduces the number of keys required in a brute force attack (that is, simply trying every possible key until the correct one is found). For example, assume that a symmetric cipher implementation uses a key length of 2^128 bits (2 to

Secure Data Sharing in the Cloud Danan Thilakanathan, Shiping Chen, Surya Nepal and Rafael A. Calvo 1 Introduction Cloud systems [1, 2] can be used to enable data sharing capabilities and this can provide an abundant of benefits to the user. There is currently a push for IT organisations to increase their data sharing efforts. According to a survey by InformationWeek [3], nearly all organisations shared their data somehow with 74 % sharing their data with customers and 64 % sharing with suppliers

data being sent between a browser and a web server they can see and use that information. More specifically, SSL is a security protocol. Protocols describe how algorithms should be used; in this case, the SSL protocol determines variables of the encryption for both the link and the data being transmitted. SSL secures millions of peoples’ data on the Internet every day, especially during online transactions or when transmitting confidential information. Internet users have come to associate their

final destination. What problems do you see if IP reassembly is attempted in intermediate devices like routers? [8 points] Answer: It's important to understand that while reassembly is the complement to fragmentation, the two processes are not symmetric. A primary differentiation between the two is that while intermediate routers can fragment a single datagram or further fragment a datagram that is already a fragment, intermediate devices do not perform reassembly. There are a number of reasons
