Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security Runs commonly on top of TCP/IP A protocol that implements - privacy against eavesdroppers through encryption of messages - message integrity trough hash function - authentication through digital signatures e.g., connect to https, ssmtp, spop3 (each has a unique port number)

Trappenberg Overview E 30 Message Digests & Hash function A message digest is a one-way function which maps the information contained in a (small or large) file to a single large number, typically between 128 bits and 256 bits in length. A good message digest function should have the following properties: –Every bit of the output is influenced by every bit of the input –Changing a single bit in the input results in every output bit having a 50% chance of changing –Given an input file, its corresponding digest, and the digest function, it is computationally infeasible to produce another input file which maps to the same digest

However, a shared secret key is used. SHA-1 Developed by the NSA for use with the Digital Signature Standard
