Chapter 12. Designing a Cryptographic Solution

<feature><title></title>

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • Introducing cryptographic services: Cryptographic services can be divided into two halves: the construction of codes and the breaking of codes. This section explores the interworking of cryptographic services and examines symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. It also discusses the use of block and stream ciphers, because these are used to manipulate and secure data by various algorithms.

  • Exploring symmetric encryption: This section focuses on symmetric encryption to help you better understand their nature and uses. It looks at a variety of symmetric algorithms, including DES, 3DES, AES, SEAL, and various Rivest ciphers (RC). As we explore ...
