An unencrypted message - "in the clear"
.
An encrypted message
.
Algorithm used to go from plaintext to ciphertext and back
.
The practice and art of cracking encryption
.
Add this to the cipher to decrypt - the longer it is, the more secure
.
The encrypted text must be very very different than the original plaintext
.
If we change one character of the plain text, the cipher text will be very very different
.
Security that is easy to circumvent if you know how it's implemented - examples are SSID suppression and MAC filtering (both easy to get past)
.
Type of encryption with single shared key for encryption process and decryption process - not good for large amounts of data - fast, low overhead, often combined with asymmetric
.
Type of encryption where public key cryptography; two or more mathmatically related keys; private key (ONLY you have) and public key (goes out to anyone) - MUST be used together, no exception
.
Type of encryption that uses curves instead of numbers - uses less power - smaller keys - used in mobile devices because they use less power
.
Wireless algorithm that is old and weak, has design flaw, shouldn't be used
.
Old encryption algorithms that are strong and haven't been found to have any vulnerabilities; PGP uses a "web of trust"
