	Cryptographic engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This article is an overview of cryptographic engineering which notes at least some of the differences between ordinary engineering and the cryptographic sort.
		Cryptographic designs also have performance goals (eg, unbreakability of encryption), but must perform in a more complex, and more complexly hostile, environment than merely high (but not too low) in the Earth's atmosphere under war conditions.
		Most cryptographic algorithms and protocols make certain assumptions (random key or nonce choices, for example), and when those assumptions are violated, all security is lost.

		It is also a branch of engineering, but an unusual one as it must deal with active, intelligent and malevolent opposition (see cryptographic engineering and security engineering).
		Associated fields are steganography — the study of hiding the very existence of a message, and not necessarily the contents of the message itself (for example, microdots, or invisible ink) — and traffic analysis, which is the analysis of patterns of communication in order to learn secret information.
		A cryptanalyst might appear to be the natural adversary of a cryptographer, and to an extent this is true: one can view this contest all through the history of cryptography.

		Moreover, people without extraordinary needs for secrecy use cryptographic technology, which is often built transparently into much of computing and telecommunications infrastructure.
		Cryptography is also considered a branch of engineering, but it is considered to be an unusual one as it deals with active, intelligent and malevolent opposition (see cryptographic engineering and security engineering).
		Cryptographic protocols specify the details of how ciphers (and other cryptographic primitives) are to be used to achieve specific tasks.

		It is widely recognized that the engineering of cryptographic protocols is a very subtle task which can easily be deceptive to developers.
		The security of a protocol refers to the secureness of the actual message interchange, the applicability of the respective cryptographic methods, the type and quantity of data sent across insecure channels and the possible attacks that the protocol may be susceptible to.
		Cryptographic protocols are crucial to the increasing use of computer networks for commercial and private communication.

		Not crashing is a quite prominent sine qua none in aircraft design.
		Essentially no Opponents will ever make their access to message content public, and so neither designers nor implementors nor users of crypto systems will ever learn from them that there design is insecure.
		For instance, a buffer overrun vulnerability in an obligatory operating system component may not have been present in version 5.1 (used during crypto system testing), but appear only at version 5.3, available only after release of the crypto system.

		The growing interest in the application of formal methods of cryptographic protocol analysis has led to the development of a number of different techniques for generating and describing invariants that are defined in terms of what messages an intruder can and cannot learn.
		We resolve a debate over the appropriateness for cryptographic protocol analysis of formalisms representing knowledge vs. those representing belief by showing that they are equally adequate for protocol analysis on the logical level.
		Logics for cryptographic protocol analysis are discussed and a study is made of the protocol features that they are appropirate for analyzing: some are appropriate for analyzing trust, others security.

	Cryptography and the Internet: Lessons and Challenges
		In designing cryptographic protocols that use public-key cryptography, theoreticians often ignore the difficulty of identifying public keys with the various parties of the protocol.
		Early engineering attempts to design a public-key certification hierarchy centered around the X509 standard, and was originally planned to have a single name space for all certificates.
		Cryptographic protocols will need to be developed to address the situation where an intermediary takes some of the responsibility for protecting parties against attacks, because the economic case for such engineering systems with firewalls is too strong to ignore.

	Digital signature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In a cryptographic context, the word repudiation refers to the act of denying association with a message (ie claiming it was sent by a third party).
		These enactments (or proposed enactments) vary from place to place, have typically embodied expectations at variance (optimistically or pessimistically) with the state of the underlying cryptographic engineering, and have had the net effect of confusing potential users and specifiers, nearly all of whom are not cryptographically knowledgeable.
		Adoption of technical standards for digital signatures have lagged behind much of the legislation, delaying a more or less unified engineering position on interoperability, algorithm choice, key lengths, etc and so on what the engineering is attempting to provide.

		Multi-dimensional security protocol engineering is effective for creating cryptographic protocols since it encompasses a variety of design, analysis and deployment techniques, thereby providing a higher level of confidence than individual approaches.
		The goal of the SPEAR II tool is to facilitate cryptographic protocol engineering and aid users in distilling the critical issues during an engineering session by presenting them with an appropriate level of detail and guiding them as much as possible.
		The analysis engine improves on previous automation efforts and employs a forward-chaining approach to mechanize the tedious application of GNY inference rules, allowing all derivable GNY statements to be generated quickly, accurately and efficiently.

	Practical Cryptography: Preface
		Too many engineers consider cryptography to be a sort of magic security dust that they can sprinkle over their hardware or software, and which will imbue those products with the mythical property of "security." Too many consumers read product claims like "encrypted" and believe in that same magic security dust.
		It follows the design of a cryptographic system from the specific algorithm choices, outwards through concentric rings to the infrastructure required to make it work.
		We discuss a single cryptographic problem---one of establishing a means for two people to communicate securely---that's at the heart of almost every cryptographic application.

	Current State of Use - Legal and Practice...Encryptoo.com
		Whereas the existence of a digital signature can be evidentially significant in establishing that an electronic communication is uncorrupted, and that it had a certain provenance, it cannot of itself provide any evidence as to whether a particular individual intended or authorized or associated himself or herself with any such communication.
		In that regard, the term "signature" is potentially misleading as the engineering does not now, and may possibly not be able to, coincide with the assumptions underlying many of the legal enactments.
		Legal enactments which affirmatively declare that a digital signature is presumptively deemed a valid signature are at variance with the possibilitites afforded by the cryptography.

		In recent decades, cryptography has expanded its remit and now provides mechanisms for more than just confidentiality; it has become a fundamental tool for security engineering.
		Cryptography is an interdisciplinary subject, drawing from several fields: it can be viewed as an application of information theory, but makes extensive use of other areas of mathematics, notably number theory and finite mathematics.
		Closely related fields are steganography, which is the study of obscuring the very existence of a message, and not necessarily the contents of the message itself (eg, microdots and the use of secret inks); and traffic analysis, which is the analysis of patterns of communication (ie, who talks to whom, how, and when).

	Why major in math?
		You might teach at a college or university, or become a part of a private think tank, or work for one of many engineering and cryptographic companies and government agencies.
		Many engineering, biotech, actuarial, and computer companies need employees with mathematical knowledge, and many more of the same want employees who know how to think and solve problems.
		Of course, it all depends on what career you choose, but the National Association of Colleges and Employers reported in 1999 that the average starting salary for a mathematics major with a bachelor's degree was $37,300 a year, for those with a masters degree, $42,000, and for those with a Ph.D., $58,900.

	FIPS 140-1 FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This stage shows that there is a contract in place with a testing lab, that the lab then has the cryptographic module that they will be testing, and finally that they have all the documents needed to do the testing.
		The cryptographic module is a critical component of a CA, since it protects the essence of the CA (its private key, and signature ability).
		This greatly limits the amount of time you will be asked to invest any of your engineer's time, as compared to a company who decides to go through the process themselves, thus exhausting resources and multiple engineers who are tied up with validation full time for weeks.
