Key Management Cheat Sheet Introduction This Key Management Cheat Sheet provides developers with guidance for implementation of cryptographic key management within an application in a secure manner. It is important to document and harmonize rules and practices for: key life cycle management (generation, distribution, destruction) key compromise, recovery and zeroization key storage key agreement across the organization. Key Management General Guidelines and Considerations Formulate a strategy

2. Explain the role of a Certificate Authority and its obligations in authenticating the person or organization and issuing digital certificates. Certificate Authority or Certification Authority (CA) is an entity, which is core to many PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) schemes, whose purpose is to issue digital certificates to use by other parties. It exemplifies a trusted third party. 3. What would a successful Subversion Attack of a CA result in? An attacker can create a certificate for any

through encryption and decryption. It is a common method which enables users to store private or sensitive information transmits across an insecure network, like internet. In this case, it is suggested to use for protecting and guarding the UPS official website information transaction of the between UPS and its customers. In encryption process, the original or ordinary information (Plaintext) is converted into an unintelligible text (Ciphertext) that only the authorized parties with the key are able

Public Key Infrastructure David Croughwell Prof. George Danilovics Networking Security Fundamentals (CIS333) 17 February 2013 Public Key Infrastructure In discussing the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) we need to discuss the differences between asymmetric and symmetric keys. These two keys differ in how they are distributed to the various parties that would like to transfer information. Symmetric can be completed by hand delivery, transmitting the key encrypted with a public key, or through

special algorithm in accordance with the given key (a kind of a password). There are two types of cryptooperation in cryptology: symmetrical and asymmetrical. The first is sometimes called “a one-key cipher” or a cipher with a secret key. Symmetry lies in one secret key used for encryption and deciphering of one message. Symmetrical ciphers are best suited for cases when computer information is just stored on the hard disk, floppies or other mediums. One-key ciphers are very foolproof, but are rarely

numbers are unique. Each one is issued by a bank and represents a specified sum of real money. One of the key features of digital cash is that, like real cash, it is anonymous and reusable. That is, when a digital cash amount is sent from a buyer to a vendor, there is no way to obtain information about the buyer. This is one of the key differences between digital cash and credit card systems. Another key difference is that a digital cash certificate can be reused. 2- Briefly explain ActiveX Control
