A computer virus is a type of malware that corrupts or destroys files on computer systems. Computer viruses have been around since the 1980s and are programs capable of self-replication, spreading from one machine to another without the user's knowledge. Computer viruses typically run in the background while users browse the internet. As more devices connect to networks and people increasingly use the web, security threats and risks continue to grow exponentially. Computer Virus Infection Process Clean System Virus Entry ...

Facial Recognition and Face ID are both face-based biometric technologies, but they differ in implementation and accuracy. Facial recognition is a general-purpose technology used across many devices and platforms, while Face ID is Apple's proprietary, advanced face recognition system built specifically for iPhones and iPads. Facial Recognition Facial recognition is a technique in which a person is identified using their face. The system captures facial details, analyzes key features (distance between eyes, jawline shape, etc.), and compares them with an existing database of known faces to find a match. Facial recognition is used in smartphones, security cameras, airports, ...

Cyber Security and Information Security are often used interchangeably, but they differ in scope. Cyber security deals with protecting networks, computers, and data from unauthorized electronic/digital access. Information security deals with protecting information assets regardless of whether the information is in physical or digital format. It is important to note the difference between data and information. Not all data is information − data becomes information when it is interpreted in context and given meaning. For example, "14041989" is just data, but when we know it is a person's date of birth, it becomes information. Hence, all information is data, ...

The study of secure communications techniques that enable only the sender and the intended recipient of messages to read its contents is known as cryptography. The word "kryptos" comes from the Greek word "kryptos, " which means "hidden." It is closely linked to encryption, which is the process of scrambling plaintext into ciphertext and then back again when it's received. In addition, cryptography includes techniques such as microdots and merging to obfuscate information in photographs. Ancient Egyptians were known to ...

There are various classification of security attack is as follows − Cryptanalytic attacks These attacks are combination of statistical and algebraic techniques objective at make sure the secret key of a cipher. These technique inspect the numerical properties of the cryptographic algorithms and aims at discovering distinguishers of the output distribution of cryptographic algorithms from the uniform distribution. Non-cryptanalytic attacks Non-cryptanalytic attacks do not exploit the numerical weakness of the cryptographic algorithm. There are three objective of security are confidentiality, integrity and availability can be very much vulnerable by this type of attack. Attacks threatening confidentiality Attacks threatening the confidentiality ...

There are various applications of cryptography which are as follows − Secrecy in Transmission Some existing secrecy systems for transmission access a private key system for converting transmitted data because it is the quickest approach that functions with rational guarantee and low overhead. If the multiple conversing parties is minute, key distribution is implemented periodically with a courier service and key preservation based on physical security of the keys over the method of use and destruction after new keys are disseminated. Secrecy in Storage Secrecy in storage is frequently preserved by a one-key system where the user provide the key ...

Cryptography is an automated mathematical tool that plays an important role in network security. It supports the confidentiality and integrity of information and provide authentication and non-repudiation to the users. Cryptography is frequently used in distributed applications to transfer recognition and authentication information from one system to another over a network. Cryptographic authentication systems validate a user based on the awareness or control of a cryptographic key. Cryptographic authentication systems can be based on private key cryptosystems or public key cryptosystems. Cryptographic approach can encrypt the biometric templates or images which are saved in a database. It can enhance the ...
