Information Assurance for security protocols

Information Assurance for security protocols

Security protocols are used pervasively to protect distributed communications in the third Millennium. This motivates the need for a definition of Information Assurance for security protocols, which, to the best of our knowledge, is still missing. Such a definition is advanced in terms of the requirements that security protocols be analysed at the same time realistically, accurately and formall...

Information Assurance and Security

Information assurance contains all the elements of information security (confidentiality) but also includes elements of availability, and integrity. Information assurance provides a view of information protection that includes defensive measures in all three states — processing, storage, and transmission. To defend information and data there are three fundamental countermeasure categories: 1. t...

Cost Tradeoffs for Information Security Assurance

Information security is important in proportion to an organization’s dependence on information technology. Security of a computer based information system should protect the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) aspects of the system. With the increasing dependence of business processes on information technology, the number of attacks against CIA aspects have increased manifold. Sin...

Information Assurance Protocols: Efficiency Analysis and Implementation for Secure Communication

Two major issues are considered in this paper: security of communication and reliability of connection. The paper demonstrates how to interlink both the security requirement and communication assurance into one algorithmic procedure. Several reliability protocols are described and their characteristics (probabilities of failure, bandwidth requirement per block of transmitted ciphertext and comp...
