key authentication attack
1Key authentication — is a problem that arises when using public key cryptography. It is the process of assuring that the public key of person A held by person B does in fact belong to person A .In traditional symmetric key cryptography, this problem wasn t an issue… …
2Authentication — (from Greek αυθεντικός; real or genuine, from authentes; author) is the act of establishing or confirming something (or someone) as authentic , that is, that claims made by or about the thing are true. This might involve confirming the identity… …
3Key-agreement protocol — In cryptography, a key agreement protocol is a protocol whereby two or more parties can agree on a key in such a way that both influence the outcome. If properly done, this precludes undesired third parties from forcing a key choice on the… …
4Key size — In cryptography, key size or key length is the size measured in bits[1] of the key used in a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). An algorithm s key length is distinct from its cryptographic security, which is a logarithmic measure of the… …
5Public-key cryptography — In an asymmetric key encryption scheme, anyone can encrypt messages using the public key, but only the holder of the paired private key can decrypt. Security depends on the secrecy of that private key …
6Digest access authentication — HTTP Persistence · Compression · HTTPS Request methods OPTIONS · GET · HEAD · POST · PUT · DELETE · TRACE · CONNECT Header fields Cookie · ETag · Location · Referer DNT · …
7Public key fingerprint — In public key cryptography, a public key fingerprint is a short sequence of bytes used to authenticate or look up a longer public key. Fingerprints are created by applying a cryptographic hash function to a public key. Since fingerprints are… …
8Cold boot attack — In cryptography, a cold boot attack (or to a lesser extent, a platform reset attack) is a type of side channel attack in which an attacker with physical access to a computer is able to retrieve encryption keys from a running operating system… …
9Stream cipher attack — Stream ciphers, where plaintext bits are combined with a cipher bit stream by an exclusive or operation (xor), can be very secure if used properly. However they are vulnerable to attack if certain precautions are not followed:*keys must never be… …
10Two-factor authentication — (TFA, T FA or 2FA) is an approach to authentication which requires the presentation of two different kinds of evidence that someone is who they say they are. It is a part of the broader family of multi factor authentication, which is a defense in …
