Cryptographic Methods for Authenticating People and Computers
Presented by Professor Roger Brown, Department of Engineering & Science
 
Webinar Abstract
This webinar covers the use of cryptography to authenticate people and computers. Cryptographic methods of security are stronger and preferred for e-commerce over simple password security. We will explore the use and limitations of symmetric cryptography (e.g. AES) and hash algorithms (e.g. SHA-1) to provide mutual authentication. We will also discuss asymmetric, or public key, cryptography (e.g. RSA), digital signatures, and digital certificates to provide strong authentication with easier implementation logistics.
 
Professor Brown is a faculty member for our upcoming M.S. in Computer Science with a Concentration in Secure Information and Communication Systems, beginning this fall.
