  Crypto Operating System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crypto Operating System (COS) was the development name of a Mac compatible operating system supposedly developed by the German company Omega GmbH in the late 1990s.
System requirements would be low; 500 KiB RAM and 12 MiB hard drive space and a 68030-processor (or better) or a Power Macintosh.
Omega prepared for the conference and even uploaded detailed installation instructions for the operating system shortly before it was supposed to be released.

Examining any proposed crypto system with these basic functions in mind, and ignoring the marketing blather, will be a very useful exercise for those interested in cryptography in the real world.
Poorly designed, or poorly implemented, crypto systems achieve them only by accident or bluff or lack of interest on the part of the opposition, and users can and regularly do reduce even well designed and implemented crypto systems to the security equivalent of Swiss cheese.
A system of this kind is also known as a private key, secret key, or conventional key cryptosystem.

 S 4.88 Operating system security requirements when using crypto modules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Whenever crypto modules are used, the way in which they are integrated into or dependent on the operating system running on the host system is particularly significant.
The level of the operating system security requirements is liable to vary according to the type of crypto module (implementation in hardware or software, strategy for integration into the IT component etc.), the conditions in which it is used and the degree of protection required for the data.
Commercial PC operating systems are generally so complex and subject to such short innovation cycles that it is barely possible to verify or prove the security of data or a system.

The crypto preamble is a library of sound files that are designated to play at specific points during a secure radio transmission or reception within a given radio mode.
However, unlike the crypto key which applies to the entire radio object, each crypto system value applies to the specific radio mode to which it is assigned.

The design goal was to develop a system that would be easy for use and that would offer a significant benefit in data privacy area combined with a reasonable performance penalty.
Basically, the system secrecy is ensured if a cryptoanalyst is not able to determine plaintext data from available ciphertext, regardless of the possible means he or she might posses.
By using a poor key the whole system could be compromised regardless of the strength of the encryption algorithm used.

 INFO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
On ignition the centralized control system for the immobilizer reads the key code (by means of the special antenna) and if it is recognized as the valid code the system sends permission to the engine control for ignition to take place.
The centralized control system issues a fixed frequency signal through an antenna; when the transponder receives the signal it uses special modulation techniques to send its electronic code to the centralized control system, which is able to process and recognize it.
In this case the crypto transponder is only partially used because the centralized control system is unable to read and use the hidden part of the code (crypto).

 Cryptography : Basic techniques, Crypto System - Ankit
The key management system is a system implemented for the purpose of determining how the keys will be used, which keys will be used, and how they will be controlled.
Once a key is randomly generated, it must remain secret to avoid unfortunate mishaps (such as impersonation).
In practice, most attacks on public-key systems will probably be aimed at the key management level, rather than at the cryptographic algorithm itself.

 Wired News: Congress Mulls Stiff Crypto Laws
During the early and mid 1990s, when e-mail was a rarity and good encryption programs even more scarce, it was easy for encryption's proponents to argue that terrorists and other malcontents were not cloaking their communications.
Now, with readily available applications like hushmail.com and PGP, crypto buffs are left with one less argument than before.
Matt Blaze, the AT&T Research scientist who was a chief critic of Clipper, said in an essay this week that: "I believed then, and continue to believe now, that the benefits to our security and freedom of widely available cryptography far, far outweigh the inevitable damage that comes from its use by criminals and terrorists."
