Computer Security, Encryption, communications security and encryption

Security is paramount to any organization, whether it be network security, communication security, or PC security. SSC2 can quickly be added to your existing software’s code to enhance encryption of files or transmissions, because it is written in java it can be easily ported to any language or deployed in any environment including embedded systems. Below you will find the SSC2 code.

public class cryto
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("\n" + "enter something to encrypt: ");//prompt for a text to encrypt
String userInput = SimpleIO.readLine();//read the line of text. Requires SimpleIO.class
System.out.println("Encoded");
int i =0;
int length = userInput.length();
char outPut;
int someVar;
int someVarDec;
int[] anArray = new int[userInput.length()];
while (i < length)//go threw the loop while not longer than string input length
{
outPut = userInput.charAt(i);//get each Characters of the input
someVar = (int)outPut; //Cast Characte as an integer
someVar = (someVar + 15) % 255; //crytology code
anArray[i]=someVar;
System.out.print(" "+someVar+" ");
i++;
}
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("-------------------------");
System.out.println("Decoded");
int j=0;
while (j <anArray.length)
{
someVar = anArray[j];
someVarDec = (someVar - 15) % 255; //decoded :crytology code
System.out.print((char)someVarDec);
j++;
}
}}

How it works:

Who uses SSC2 ?

Industries and Government Agencies: who wish to add an additional layer of security to their current encryption code scheme.

Educators: Who wish to teach students how to encrypt messages.

Normal Computer Users: Who wish to encrypt documents, messages, email or anything on their hard-drive.

Encryption
Prevents any non-authorized party from reading or changing data. The level of protection provided by encryption is determined by an encryption algorithm. In a brute-force attack, the strength is measured by the number of possible keys and the key size. For example, a Triple-Data Encryption Standard system (3 DES) uses 112-bit or 168-bit keys and, based on currently available processing power, is virtually immune to brute-force attacks. Business to Business VPNs (Extranets) share sensitive data with multiple organizations, so demand the highest level of security. This requires public key encryption and/or secure key exchange, both of which are designed to eliminate the risk of the key becoming known to an unauthorized party.

Cryptology

The study of techniques that can be used to conceal information, or reveal information that has been previously concealed; that is, the combination of cryptanalysis, cryptography and steganography.

Network Security:
Protection of networks and their services from unauthorized modification, destruction, or disclosure, and provision of assurance that the network performs its critical functions correctly and there are no harmful side-effects. Network security includes providing for data integrity.

ssh - The secure shell. A cryptographically strong replacement for rlogin, telnet, ftp, and other programs. Protects against ``spoofing'', man in the middle attacks, and packet sniffing.
