v1.0Security in ecommerce - Budi Rahardjo4 Security Issues Security services: –Confidentiality / privacy –Integrity –Non-repudiation –Authentication –Access control –Availability Some can be achived with cryptography –Encryption & Decryption –Private key system vs Public key system
v1.0Security in ecommerce - Budi Rahardjo5 Private [symmetric, shared] key cryptosystem EncryptionDecryption Plaintext Ciphertext Shared (secret) key phone Plaintext
v1.0Security in ecommerce - Budi Rahardjo6 Private key cryptosystem Uses one (secret) key to encrypt and decrypt. Problem in key distribution and management –The number of keys increases exponentially (n)(n-1)/2 –Key distribution requires separate secure channel Advantage: faster operation compared to public key Examples: DES, IDEA

v1.0Security in ecommerce - Budi Rahardjo8 Public key cryptosystem Use different keys to encrypt and decrypt. Less number of keys. Require key repository. Management of keys may be more complicated. Disadvantage: –requires extensive computing power to calculate Examples: RSA, ECC
