Even though cryptography, the art of secret writing, has been known for several thousand years it is getting a lot of press these days in its electronic incarnation. This presentation provides a simple, yet effective, look at the mechanics of cryptography, including encryption software and algorithms, the Data Encryption Standard (DES), 3DES, IP Security (IPSec), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and issues and myths surrounding encryption and its application to business.
