Encryption

Asymmetric and symmetric encryptions are the types of encryptions used in cryptography. There is only one key involved in symmetric encryption, which is used for both encryption and decryption. The key has to be shared among the parties involved who wish to encrypt and decrypt data

Symmetric Vs. Asymmetric Encryption which is more Secure

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) provides a total of 12 requirements for securing cardholder data which can be stored, processed and transmitted by organizations

PCI Compliance Specification

Data security and data privacy are two different approaches towards handling confidential personal data for individuals; however, often confused interchangeably. It is evident that data masking and tokenization have a deep focus on providing measures for data privacy, whereas encryption’s core focus is on data security.

Comparing Data Security and Data Privacy

IP spoofing is the creation of Internet Protocol (IP) packets which have a modified source address to either hide the identity of the sender, to impersonate another computer system, or both. It is a technique often used by bad actors to invoke DDoS attacks against a target device or infrastructure surrounding that device.

Protecting Data from IP Spoofing

Active and Passive attacks are challenging issues in any organization. Any Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), always chooses passive attack first to gain information about the infrastructure and the network, which can then be used to fabricate a targeted active attack against the said infrastructure, which often can be hard to block or cause catastrophe to the organization

Homomorphic Encryption in the current state is computationally expensive and practically inefficient. It can certainly be used to encrypt data, while we can perform different computations on the data. HE enables privacy-preserving computation, which helps us work with untrusted environments while maintaining the data’s confidentiality.
