Our speaker today was Karen Kronstanje on the subject of Cryptography.  She eluded to the fact that because of the popularity of the Internet, people need to insure that their data is safe.  Cryptography allows ciphers to protect and encrypt you data, making it harder for other people to get at it.  She claims the 4 goals to cryptography are as follows:

1. Secrecy - converts data to other codes through encryption

2. Integrity - If data modified - report it.

3. Authentication - Insure you know who you are sending data to.

4. Non-Repudiation - Ensures that the transaction has taken place.

 

Many question were fielded at the conclusion of her talk.
