1) End-to-end encryption protects communications by encrypting messages in a way that only the sender and recipient can access, not intermediate servers or other third parties. 2) Currently, most email services like Gmail can be accessed by system administrators and is sent in clear text, similar to sending a postcard through the mail system. 3) With end-to-end encryption, messages are encrypted like placing the message in a locked safe that only the intended recipient can open, providing privacy and security from threats of surveillance, hacking and other attacks.

Electronic mail security requires confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation. Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) and Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) provide these security services for email. PEM uses canonical conversion, digital signatures, encryption, and base64 encoding. PGP provides authentication via digital signatures and confidentiality through symmetric encryption of messages with randomly generated session keys. Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) also supports signed and encrypted email to provide security.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures privacy between communicating applications and their users on the Internet. When a server and client communicate, TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message. TLS is the successor to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
The document discusses cryptographic algorithms and keys. It describes the RC4 algorithm which uses a key stream to encrypt plaintext into ciphertext. It involves initializing a state array S with permutations, then generating a pseudo-random key stream by swapping array bytes based on the key and indices i and j. The key stream is then combined with plaintext to produce ciphertext. The document also mentions SSL and provides several references on RC4, WEP attacks, and cryptographic algorithm breakdowns.
Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information so that only authorized parties can read it. There are two main types of encryption: symmetric key encryption which uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, and asymmetric key encryption which uses a public key to encrypt and a private key to decrypt. While symmetric encryption is faster, asymmetric encryption is more secure since it does not require sharing the same key. Encryption is widely used to provide authentication, privacy, integrity, and accountability of data.
SSL and TLS provide end-to-end security for applications using TCP. They operate at the transport layer and provide services like data encryption, message integrity, and client/server authentication. The key components are the handshake protocol for negotiating encryption parameters and exchanging keys, the record protocol for fragmenting and encrypting application data, and alert and change cipher spec protocols for signaling errors and key changes. Common algorithms include RSA and Diffie-Hellman for key exchange, RC4, 3DES and AES for encryption, and MD5 or SHA for hashing. Sessions define a connection's cryptographic settings while connections are the actual data streams.
This is a briefing about Random Number Generators. Random Number Generators are important in the data center because of their role in cryptography. This briefing introduces Random Number Generators, types of Random Number Generators including TRNG and PRNG, and a visual example of "randomness." http://boblandstrom.com
SSL is an internet protocol for secure exchange of information between a web browser and a web server.
This presentation discusses various aspects of data encryption. It defines data encryption as mathematical calculations and algorithms that transform plain text into ciphertext. It then covers the main types of encryption, distinguishing between symmetric encryption which uses the same key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric encryption which uses different public and private keys. The presentation also explains some common encryption methods like the Data Encryption Standard and public key cryptosystems.
A mail server is a computer that handles email delivery. It implements the client and server portions of SMTP to reliably transfer messages between servers using TCP port 25. A mail server stores users' incoming emails in their mailboxes and queues outgoing messages to be sent. The major components of electronic mail systems are user agents for composing/reading mail, mail servers for message storage and transfer using SMTP, and protocols like POP3 and IMAP for users to access their mailboxes.
Public key cryptography uses key pairs - a public key and a private key - to encrypt and decrypt messages. The public key can be shared widely, while the private key is kept secret. This allows users to securely share encrypted messages without having to first share secret keys. Common applications of public key cryptography include public key encryption and digital signatures.
The document discusses classical encryption techniques, including symmetric encryption which uses the same key for encryption and decryption. It describes ciphers like the Caesar cipher which substitutes letters by shifting the alphabet, the monoalphabetic cipher with one substitution table, and the polyalphabetic Vigenère cipher which uses multiple substitution alphabets. The document also covers the Playfair cipher which encrypts letters in pairs using a 5x5 keyword matrix, and discusses cryptanalysis techniques for breaking classical ciphers.
