Encryption devices

The Greeks developed the first encryption device, the scytale, which consisted of a wooden staff and a strip of parchment or leather. The strip was wrapped around the staff and the message was written with one letter on each wrap. When wrapped around another staff of the same size, the message appeared. In the I780 s, Thomas Jefferson invented a wheel cipher that used wooden disks with the alphabet printed around the outside. They were arranged side by side on a spindle and were turned to create a huge number of ciphers. In 1922, Jefferson s wheel cipher... 

Automated randomization systems have been developed using voice response [44] and telephone touch-tone technology [45,46]. Others have used a preloaded password-protected system with hidden encrypted randomization files into the trial s laptop or desktop computers that are used as distributed data collection devices [47] or have developed centralized computer programs that dynamically randomize subjects [48]. 

But if the property is unlike any the world has yet seen, then it is not clear how such property should be regarded, let alone protected. In other words, the question of just what sort of property software is has not been satisfactorily answered, which contributes to the debate on the uniqueness question. Nonetheless, devices such as copyrights, patents, encryption, trade secrets, and oaths of confidentiality and standard virtues like trustworthiness and loyalty have been tried to protect ownership and the right to property [17, 23]. 

Security management This involves identifying locations of sensitive data and securing the system access points as appropriate to limit the potential for unauthorized intrusions. Encryption, password requirements, physical devices security, and security policy ate also included in this area. 

An attacker who wants to access a network protected by NAC should obtain the certificate and corresponding cryptographic key from an authorized host to authenticate successfully. Typically, certificates are public but private keys should only be accessible by the authorized user. Usually private keys are stored encrypted and users need to type a passphrase each time it is used. Passphrases can be compromised while transmitting them over an insecure link or via malware developed to copy passphrases or log them when users enter them using the keyboard. Another problem is the theft of storage devices used for key backup. Also, shared computers and possibility to export certificates to other machines make the management of certificates and keys problematic. 

Here, we sup>pose the use of electronic display devices for the decryption of the encrypted hologram in a real optical security system. We assume that each pixel of an image in the input plane has a clear aperture ratio of 25 %. Actual display devices, for example LCTV panel, may have a rather larger value of the clear aperture, however, we take the value for the easiness of the numerical simulations. Fig. 14 shows the result of the numerical simulation for such a case. Fig. 14(a) is the same hologram as in Fig. 7(b), but it is embedded into the periodic lattice structure. The total size of the pattern in the input plane is expanded to 256x256 due to the presence of the periodic lattice structure. Fig. 14(b) is the same random key pattern as that in Fig. 3(b), but it is also embedded into the periodic lattice structure.

The analysis focuses on the Telematics Control Unit (TCU), because it bridges two buses with different safety-criticalities, and possesses long-range communication capability. Due to the lack of source authentication or encryption on the CAN-bus, controlling one ECU allows complete control of all other devices on the same bus. Table 1 lists some of the TCU functions given in [5]. The TCU communicates over a wireless commimication infrastructure with a Telematics Network Operations System (TNOS), which provides most of the services for the telematics unit. 

FDA draft guidance (Nonbinding Recommendations) Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices , chapter 4 Ensure secure data transfer to and from the device, and when appropriate, use accepted methods for encryption [8]... 

One obvious solution for protecting communication over an insecure or vulnerable channel against eavesdropping or capturing would be encryption. The FDA even encourages encrypting data transfer to and from a medical device [8]. 

Security issues in this scenario have a similar level compared to Scenario 1. The developed libraries contain sensitive knowledge of the device and component vendors. They contain device- and component-related information which shall only be accessible to a limited set of roles. Hence, access rights and encryption are part of the libraries and the component/device models. Beyond this knowledge-related issue, there is also a market-competition-related issue. Each vendor has a vital interest in making his products more attractive for users than the products of the competitors. Therefore, the vendor may make his product easier to find and use or make other vendors components less likely to score weU with requirements. These comparisons can be supported by a weU-defined model semantics.
