Cryptography in Data Security

Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes cryptography, the encryption or transformation of data into some unreadable form in order to ensure privacy by keeping the information hidden from anyone for whom it is not intended. It provides a brief overview of cryptography, discusses methods of encryption and description and examines cryptographic protection in Microsoft Windows 2000 as an example of cryptography utilization.

From the Paper:

"Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related to aspects of information security such as confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data origin authentication. It is defined as the science of protecting data. Cryptographic mechanisms help organizations provide a complete suite of security services. The fundamental goal of cryptography is to adequately address systems and information security in the prevention and detection of cheating and malicious activities."
