Cryptography and Security - Simplified Notes

Unit 1: Cryptography

- 1.1 Cryptography in Practice

Cryptography hides information so only the right people can read it. Used in apps like WhatsApp, bank

websites, and VPNs.

- 1.2 Historical Perspectives

From Caesar Ciphers to WWII's Enigma Machine to modern math-based encryption.

- 1.3 Algorithms

Symmetric: Same key for both ends (e.g., AES). Asymmetric: Public key encrypts, private key decrypts (e.g.,

RSA).

- 1.4 Hashing Functions

One-way function that converts data into a fixed code. Used for passwords and file checks.

- 1.5 Symmetric Encryption

Fast, same key for both sides. Example: AES.

- 1.6 Asymmetric Encryption

Two keys: one public, one private. Example: RSA.

- 1.7 Quantum Cryptography

Uses quantum physics. If someone tries to spy, it's detected.

- 1.8 Uses

Used in emails, blockchain, shopping, banking, and messaging apps.

Unit 2: Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

- 2.1 History

Started in 1980s, now uses AI to catch threats in real time.

- 2.2 IDS Overview

Watches for suspicious activity. Signature-based or anomaly-based.

- 2.3 Network-Based IDS

Monitors network traffic. Tools: Snort.

- 2.4 Host-Based IDS

Monitors a specific computer. Tools: OSSEC.

- 2.5 IPS

Prevents attacks in real-time. Example: Cisco Firepower.

- 2.6 Honeypots and Honeynets

Fake systems that attract hackers to study them.

- 2.7 IDS Tools

Snort, OSSEC, Suricata, Wireshark, Kali Linux.

Unit 3: Online Banking, Card, and UPI Security

- Online Banking

Risks: phishing, malware. Safety: 2FA, HTTPS, alerts.

- Mobile Banking
Cryptography and Security - Simplified Notes

Risks: fake apps, SIM swaps. Safety: biometric login, trusted stores.

- Card Security

Risks: skimming, fraud. Safety: EMV chip, OTPs.

- UPI Security

Risks: fake apps, scam requests. Safety: UPI PIN, alerts.

Unit 4: Data Destruction and Recovery

- Destruction

Normal delete isn't enough. Use shredding, wiping, degaussing, or physical destruction.

- Recovery

Use tools like Recuva or backup systems to restore lost data.

- Best Practices

Destroy old drives safely. Back up regularly. Use antivirus and monitor your drives.
