Cryptography and Network Security Chapter 1 Fourth Edition by William Stallings After Lawrie Brown
Background Information Security requirements have changed in recent times Ø traditionally provided by physical and administrative mechanisms Ø computer use requires automated tools to protect files and other stored information Ø use of networks and communications links requires measures to protect data during transmission Ø
Definitions Computer Security - generic name for the collection of tools designed to protect data and to thwart hackers Ø Network Security - measures to protect data during their transmission Ø Internet Security - measures to protect data during their transmission over a collection of interconnected networks Ø
Aspects of Security Ø Security Attack: Any action that compromises the security of information. Ø Security Mechanism: A mechanism that is designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack. Ø Security Service: A service that enhances the security of data processing systems and information transfers. A security service makes use of one or more security mechanisms.
Security Attacks
Security Attacks Ø Interruption: This is an attack on availability Ø Interception: This is an attack on confidentiality Ø Modification: This is an attack on integrity Ø Fabrication: This is an attack on authenticity
Security Goals Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Security Attack any action that compromises the security of information owned by an organization Ø information security is about how to prevent attacks, or failing that, to detect attacks on information-based systems Ø often threat & attack used to mean same thing Ø have a wide range of attacks Ø can focus of generic types of attacks Ø l l passive active
Passive Attacks
Active Attacks
Security Services Ø Confidentiality (privacy) Ø Authentication (who created or sent the data) Ø Integrity (has not been altered) Ø Non-repudiation (the order is final) Ø Access control (prevent misuse of resources) Ø Availability (permanence, non-erasure) l Denial of Service Attacks l Virus that deletes files
Security Service l l enhance security of data processing systems and information transfers of an organization intended to counter security attacks using one or more security mechanisms often replicates functions normally associated with physical documents • which, for example, have signatures, dates; need protection from disclosure, tampering, or destruction; be notarized or witnessed; be recorded or licensed
OSI Security Architecture Ø ITU-T X. 800 “Security Architecture for OSI” Ø defines a systematic way of defining and providing security requirements Ø for us it provides a useful, if abstract, overview of concepts we will study
Security Services Ø X. 800: “a service provided by a protocol layer of communicating open systems, which ensures adequate security of the systems or of data transfers” Ø RFC 2828: “a processing or communication service provided by a system to give a specific kind of protection to system resources”
Security Services (X. 800) Authentication - assurance that the communicating entity is the one claimed Ø Access Control - prevention of the unauthorized use of a resource Ø Data Confidentiality –protection of data from unauthorized disclosure Ø Data Integrity - assurance that data received is as sent by an authorized entity Ø Non-Repudiation - protection against denial by one of the parties in a communication Ø
Security Mechanism Ø feature designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack Ø no single mechanism that will support all services required Ø however one particular element underlies many of the security mechanisms in use: l cryptographic techniques Ø hence our focus on this topic
Methods of Defence Ø Encryption Ø Software Controls (access limitations in a data base, in operating system protect each user from other users) Ø Hardware Controls (smartcard) Ø Policies (frequent changes of passwords) Ø Physical Controls
Security Mechanisms (X. 800) Ø specific security mechanisms: l encipherment, digital signatures, access controls, data integrity, authentication exchange, traffic padding, routing control, notarization Ø pervasive security mechanisms: l trusted functionality, security labels, event detection, security audit trails, security recovery
Model for Network Security
Model for Network Security Ø using this model requires us to: 1. 2. 3. 4. design a suitable algorithm for the security transformation generate the secret information (keys) used by the algorithm develop methods to distribute and share the secret information specify a protocol enabling the principals to use the transformation and secret information for a security service
Model for Network Access Security
Model for Network Access Security Ø using this model requires us to: 1. 2. Ø select appropriate gatekeeper functions to identify users implement security controls to ensure only authorised users access designated information or resources trusted computer systems may be useful to help implement this model
Summary Ø have considered: l definitions for: • computer, network, internet security Ø X. 800 standard Ø security attacks, services, mechanisms Ø models for network (access) security
