Cryptography and System Secutiry
Introduction to Number Theory
System Security.. Control of Access to a computer system's resources,specially its data and operating system files.

Network Security model
Classical Encryption Techniques
Symmetric Cipher Model
Mono and Poly Alphabetic Substitution techniques.
In substitution cipher technique, character's identity is changed while its position remains unchanged
Steganography.
Steganography is the technique of hiding secret data within an ordinary, non-secret, file or message in order to avoid detection; the secret data is then extracted at its destination
Transposition Substitution Techniques.
Transposition cipher technique, the position of the character is changed but character's identity is not changed.

Block Cipher Principles.
A block cipher is one in which a block of plaintext is treated as a whole and used to produce a cipher text block of equal length.
Block Cipher modes of Operation
DES.
DES is an implementation of a Feistel Cipher. It uses 16 round Feistel structure.
Double DES.
Double DES is a encryption technique which uses two instance of DES on same plain text.
Triple DES.
Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a type of computerized cryptography where block cipher algorithms are applied three times to each data block.
Advanced Encryption Standard(AES).
AES is a symmetric, block cipher which means that blocks of text of a certain size (128 bits) are encrypted.
Stream Ciphers
RC5 Algorithm.
RC5 is a block cipher and addresses two word blocks at a time.
Electronic Code Book (ECB) Mode
Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode
Cipher Feedback (CFB) Mode
Output Feedback (OFB) Mode
Counter (CTR) Mode

Digital Certificates.
A digital certificate, also known as a public key certificate, is used to cryptographically link ownership of a public key with the entity that owns it
