 Cryptography is the science of using
mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data.

Cryptography enables you to store

sensitive information or transmit it across
insecure networks so that it cannot be
read by anyone except the intended
recipient.

3
 Plaintext: Data that can be read and
understood without any special measures.
Encryption: The method of disguising
plaintext in such a way as to hide its
substance is called encryption.
Cipher text: Encrypting plaintext results in
unreadable gibberish called cipher text.
Decryption: The process of reverting
cipher text to its original plaintext is called
decryption.
Key: some secret piece of information 4
 Cryptanalysis: The art of breaking
ciphers, i.e. retrieving the plaintext without
knowing the proper key.
Cryptographers: People who do
cryptography
Cryptanalysts: Practitioners of
cryptanalysis.
Cryptology: The branch of mathematics
that studies the mathematical foundations
of cryptographic methods. 5

To establish a shared secret when other
people (eavesdroppers) are listening.
TYPES
Mainly classified into two types :
1. Symmetric key cryptography
2. Asymmetric key cryptography

10
 In classical cryptography, a transposition
cipher changes one character from the
plaintext to another i.e. the order of the
characters is changed.

11
 Substitution cipher is a method of
encryption by which units of plaintext are
substituted with ciphertext according to a
regular system.

12
 A Stream Cipher is a symmetric or secret-
key encryption algorithm that encrypts a
single bit at a time. With a Stream Cipher, the
same plaintext bit or byte will encrypt to a
different bit or byte every time it is encrypted.
e.g. :
Plain text: Pay 100
Binary of plain text: 010111101
(hypothetical)
Key: 100101011 -----
Perform XOR
____________________
Cipher text 110010110 -----
13
 Block cipher technique involves encryption
of one block of text at a time .Decryption also
takes one block of encrypted text at a time.
Length of the block is usually 64 or 128 bits.
e.g. :
Plain text: four and five
Four and five

 Public key cryptography is an asymmetric
scheme that uses a Pair of keys for
encryption: a Public key, which encrypts
data, and a corresponding Private key (secret
key) for decryption.

15
Cryptanalysis refers to the study of
ciphers, cipher text, or cryptosystems (that
is, to secret code systems) with a view to
finding weaknesses in them that will permit
retrieval of the plain text from the cipher
text, without necessarily knowing
the key or the algorithm. This is known
as breaking the cipher, cipher text, or
cryptosystem.

 It is a side channel attack which exploits
sounds emitted by computers or machines.
Modern acoustic cryptanalysis mostly focuses
on sounds emitted by computer keyboards and
internal computer components
Historically it has also been applied to impact
printers and electromechanical cipher machines.

18
 Use rubber keyboard or virtual keyboards
to prevent keystroke sounds.
Use acoustic printers.
Use Acoustic case for CPU.

19
 Cryptography, being an art of encrypting
and decrypting confidential information and
private messages, should be implemented in
the network security to prevent any leakage
and threat.
It can be done by using any of these
techniques discussed above for fortifying the
personal data transmission as well as for
secure transaction.
