- 1. Network Security & Cryptography Malla Reddy Engineering College (An UGC Autonomous Institution, Approved by AICTE, New Delhi & Affiliated to JNTUH, Hyderabad). Accredited by NAAC with ‘A++’ Grade (Cycle-III), Maisammaguda(H), Medchal - Malkajgiri District, Secunderabad, Telangana State – 500100, www.mrec.ac.in Seminar Review Presentation On Department of Information Technology Submitted by: Pavitra Vaishnavi
- 2. Network Security involves securing data during wireless transmission, ensuring confidentiality through cryptographic techniques like hash functions. It focuses on protecting data transmission over unreliable networks by controlling access, managed by network administrators, across private and public sectors such as organizations, enterprises, and government agencies. Cryptography ensures that only authorized recipients can interpret messages using decipher keys. Originally limited to military and diplomatic use. It safeguards against unauthorized access and ensures secure transmission, making it a critical component of network security. Abstract
- 3. Objective of Network Security and Cryptography Cryptography and security are fundamental for protecting digital assets. The objective is to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. 1 Confidentiality Keep sensitive information secret. Prevent unauthorized access to data. 2 Integrity Ensure data is accurate and complete. Protect against unauthorized modification. 3 Availability Make systems accessible to authorized users. Prevent disruptions of service.
- 4. Understanding threats and vulnerabilities. This is the first step in securing any network. Common threats include malware and phishing. Regular security audits are essential for finding weak points. Firewalls Essential for controlling network access and blocking threats. VPNs Create secure tunnels for remote access. Encryption Securing data through cryptographic algorithms. Network Security Fundamentals
- 5. Cryptography Encryption, decryption, and key management. These are the core building blocks. Encryption transforms data into an unreadable format. Decryption converts it back to its original form. Secure key management is vital. Encryption Transforms plaintext into ciphertext using an algorithm. Decryption Reverses encryption, restoring the original plaintext. Key Management Handles the generation, storage, and distribution of cryptographic keys.
- 6. Symmetric-Key Cryptography Algorithms and applications. Symmetric keys use the same key for encryption and decryption. Advanced Encryption Standard is widely used for its security and speed. It is very efficient but requires secure key exchange. Asymmetric-Key Cryptography Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI). This uses key pairs. Public keys are shared while private keys are kept secret. PKI manages digital certificates. It's essential for secure communication.
- 7. Modern Cryptographic Attacks & Defenses Staying ahead of threats is crucial. Cyberattacks are always evolving .Side-channel attacks exploit hardware vulnerabilities. Quantum computing poses future challenges. Attack Type Description Defense Brute Force Trying all possible keys Strong passwords, key length Side-Channel Exploiting hardware leaks Hardware hardening Phishing Deceiving users User education
- 8. The Future of Network Security Trends and Challenges. Preparing for the future is essential. New paradigms will emerge. Quantum-resistant cryptography is gaining importance. AI and machine learning will play key roles. Focus on adaptive security measures. Quantum Computing Develop quantum-resistant algorithms. AI Integration Use AI for threat detection. Adaptive Security Implement dynamic defenses.
- 9. Conclusion Network security and cryptography are essential for protecting data, ensuring privacy, and maintaining secure communication in digital environments. By implementing strong encryption techniques, robust authentication methods, and proactive security measures, organizations can safeguard sensitive information from cyber threats. As technology evolves, continuous advancements in cryptographic protocols and security frameworks will remain crucial in defending against emerging threats. Prioritizing network security not only enhances trust but also ensures the integrity and confidentiality of data in the ever-expanding digital world.
