List and briefly define categories of security mechanisms.
List of security mechanisms:
Brief Explanations:
1. Encipherment:
It is the process of transforming the data to unintelligible form using mathematical algorithms and recovery of the data using algorithms or private keys.
2. Digital Signature:
To ensure the integrity of data and to protect the recipient from forgery, the data was cryptographically transformed to the recipient.
3. Access Control:
The implementation of access rights to the data through different mechanisms.
4. Data Integrity:
The integrity of the information or stream of data is ensured by this mechanism.
5. Authentication Exchange:
A method of ensuring an entity's identity by means of information exchange.
.6. Traffic Padding:
This mechanism is intended to fill the gaps of a data stream to make it hard for eavesdroppers to do traffic analysis.
7. Routing Control:
Permits selection of particular physically secure routes for certain data, and allows routing changes, especially when a security breach is suspected
8. Notarization:
Assuring certain properties of data exchange with the help of a trusted third party.
