You have been specifically tasked to do the following things and develop a complete and
sound crypto architecture. Remember, the president is very knowledgeable about
cryptography and wants lots of details about how you are going to implement the
encryption.
- Describe in detail what new cryptographic systems you are going to propose, how
they work, and how they will enhance security. Be specific about these systems
weaknesses and how you plan to compensate for the weaknesses. - Describe and explain the impact the new cryptographic security architecture will
have on the current security features and how this impact will be mitigated. - What new issues will arise as a result of implementing the new cryptographic
solutions and what are the arguments on either side of these issues? - Show a clear and detailed understanding of the existing encryption being used
such as passwords, and operating encryption features not being used and whether
you plan to use these or not, and if not why not. - How well will all these new cryptographic features work together? Identify any
areas of concern, and how you propose to resolve conflicts and issues. - What if any current security features can be eliminated cost effectively by the new
crypto architecture?
