ISSC 366 AMU The Same Cryptographic Key to Encrypt & Decrypt Analysis

part1:

Cryptography  is divided into two types: Symmetrical and Asymmetrical. Symmetrical  cryptography uses a secret key to encrypt data and the same key to  decrypt the ciphered data. Asymmetrical cryptography uses a public key  to encrypt data and a public key to decrypt data. In this paper, you are  going to compare symmetrical and Asymmetrical encryption using common  algorithms from each encryption types. Your analysis should focus on  speed, key length, and implementation.

part 2:

In your own words, explain why each of the following is considered bad practice:

Shared accounts

Unique user accounts, no      password required

Unique user accounts,      password never needs to be changed

Administrators have used      their privileged accounts to perform basic user activities

Write a short policy (2-3 paragraphs) dealing with these issues.
