Internet Security

 

            
            
             High-level encryption, or cryptography is used in a number of applications ranging from those which impact national security to those, which are more mundane. Essentially, cryptography is the methodology of encoding information so that one's privacy is ensured. This is particularly important when it comes to transactions, which occur over the Internet. The risk of individuals gaining access to personal information or information which is critical to a country or a nation over the Internet is a very real one. The practice of cryptography lessens the likelihood of this happening.
             Part A -- Identification and Description.
             A greater and greater percentage of the world population is gaining access to the Internet and incorporating that access into their daily lives. More and more business transactions and personal transactions are occurring on the Internet. There is no questioning the fact that both the growth of the Internet and the number of sensitive transactions, which occur on it, are exponential. .
             In order to ensure the safety of Internet transactions, whether public or private, methodologies must be identified to safely and effectively encrypt information. Two methodologies are particularly associated with the issue of Internet security and deserve both an explanation and a contrast. These two methods are TCP/IP and cryptography. While the TCP/IP protocol was an initial first attempt at data security and integrity, it is insufficient. TCP/IP was not really designed as a security provision and is insufficient to meet the criteria, which are necessary to ensure safe transactions (Computer Reseller News PG). .
             Part B ---Understanding of Information Technology Background of Issue.
             Examples of the criteria, which must be met to ensure the protection of information, which is transmitted over the Internet, include:.
             1. The authentication of users.
             2. The economical provision of single-user login services.
