In your role of consultant, you have been asked to provide a short training session for the security staff. The security staff has had some specific questions, and the training session will help to answer those questions. Choose 1 of the following 3 topics, and develop a short explanation of that topic in a tool of your choice: Is there a difference between link and end-to-end encryption? Explain. What is traffic padding and its purpose? Is there a difference between a session key and a master key? Explain. Post your explanation to the Discussion Board. Choose the explanations of 2 other students who are explaining different topics. Study their topics. Ask for any clarifications needed to understand the topic. Offer any other constructive feedback for the students’ presentations. By the end of this exercise, you should thoroughly understand all 3 topics.
Explanation / Answer
Answer)
Let us discuss the security vulnerability.
It was in the years 2013-14 when Yahoo had been attacked and that is the biggest data breach happened in the history. wherein the real names, email ids, date of birth as well as telephone numbers were compromised.
Most of the passwords were hacked using the robust b-crypt algorithm.
That breach made a loss of $350 million Yahoo sale's price. Here Verizon helped to pay $4.48 billion for Yahoo's business for the internet where both the companies shared the regulatory as well as legal liabilities from the breach.
Traffic padding helps to produce the ciphertext output in a continuous manner even when the plaintext is absent.
When cryptography is considered Master/Session key is a management scheme of the key wherein pre-shared key encryption otherwise referred to as master key is being used for encryption which randomly would generate. The insecurely communicated working key is otherwise referred as the session key. This working key would help in the encryption process.
