| description | We are living in the "Information Revolution", where development of powerful
communication systems and digital technologies have resulted in the buildup of massive
information banks by government, industries and even individuals, which are required to be
protected to maintain privacy, confidentiality, availability and integrity of national and
commercial information. It has also allowed for automation of services and such systems must
protect customers against modern day "electronic crimes". The first part of this thesis is a
study into the aspect of the development of secure communication between group of entities.
The thesis gives an overview of the general issues that are raised by the concept of
cryptosystems, followed by discussions on the methods currently available for the conduct of
such techniques. Generic categories of threats and vulnerabilities to computer networks are
outlined as well as network security objectives. The study culminates in the description of a
recommended alternative approach for the development of Group Oriented Cryptosystems
(GOC) which can be used to solve the problem of entity authentication and subsequent key
distribution in order to enhance multiple-entity (group of entities) communications with
confidentiality and integrity services.E-mail security is about protecting electronic mails from spies, interlopers, and spoofs.
People who may want to destroy, alter, or just look at our private communications. The second
part of the thesis shows how we can protect the financial information, contract negotiations, or
personal correspondence we entrust to public or private networks by means of Digital
Envelop. Furthermore, the model developed can be practically implemented. |
