The encryption and data security
The new and more powerful computers are the ultimate tool, but they are also the ultimate threat. When the new kind of computers with more powerful processor architecture is coming in use, we must also remember that the new computers are the ultimate tools for hacking, and this is the reason, why the new type of encryption codes must be created. If we are thinking that the new type of computers have billions of times more powerful calculation capacity than the computers, what operated in the 1990s when the base of the modern encryption technology created. The thing is that the encryption technology, what bases two keys the public key, what is called also the username.
And the secret key, what is known as the password is used in many places. The protocol is always similar without depending on the place, where it is used. The same thing is used to encrypt the bank connections, and also in the log-in protocols in the computers. And do you know, what makes this kind of system problematic? That kind of log-in or encryption protocols are made even before the Internet. The access-cards of the bank accounts are problematic because if the hacker has an extremely fast computer, that thing can test every possibility with the number series, which has a certain number of numbers at each access code.
And the computer just tests every possibility, what four or five number series have. Of course, there are limits on how many attempts to log in are allowed, but if a hacker has thousands of usernames, that person can change the IP-address of the computer and tests the four or five number series for as many usernames as possible.
But there is a possibility, that if that kind of attempt comes many times, from the certain IP-address, that thing would alarm the security personnel. In that kind of case, the report of that kind of attempts must make to the authorities, and the blocking the IP-address is not enough.
The way how this kind of encryption process operates is that the system multiplicates ASCII-codes by using the prime numbers, and then that system will turn the message to the mode, where it cannot read. And the same thing also works with the hard-disk encryption. When the message wanted to read, the same calculations would make backward, which means that the code, what is got would division with the same prime number, what is used in the encryption process for multiplication those codes.
So what makes this process problematic? If we would use the quantum prime numbers, which is the name for extremely long decimal prime numbers. The system, that generates this kind of number is making limits in that kind of security. And there is a possibility, that the server, what generates the quantum prime numbers would hack. And in that case, the quantum prime number, what is used in the encryption would go to the wrong hands. So for that kind of case, there is a needed two-stage encryption system.
The encryption, what is made by the sender of the message, and then another stage. In the second stage, the server would include the prime number automatically to the message. In the second stage, the server would create the prime number for both network segments, that they can communicate with together.
And that thing also makes it possible to filter data, and that denies the attempt to send fake messages to the network, and sometimes the encryption program would also deny the computer virus to operate because it messes the code of that virus. The idea of the automatic encryption is that if the message cannot be read, it doesn't come from the right mailbox.
The problem with this kind of encryption process is that the supercomputer can simply test the prime number series with encrypted messages, and when the text can be read the encryption has been broken. The level of security can rise by using the multi-level encryption, where the user has the personal keys to encrypt messages. That thing can be used in the internal communication in the same network segment, but when the message would be sent to another network segment, what might be in another city, there can be the server, what would increase the data security by including the prime numbers in the encryption process.
But the encryption is a very problematic thing. There are two models of the encryption. The first main model is that every message, that is sent in the network is encrypted. That thing makes it possible to hide important messages. The other side of the medal is that the encryption keys of the messages are spent, and that helps to break the code if somebody wants to make that thing. If only certain data is encrypted the hackers or attackers can pick the important messages from the network.
