Want this question answered?
Two basic functions used in Encryption Algorithms are * Substitution * Transposition
presentation layer
Encryption
If you mean full Hard disk encryption, right down to the FAT Table, then I would recommend using a third party program that supports such functions such as "Truecrypt". NTFS for example supports file encryption and windows has "Bitlocker" which supports a type of drive encryption and file container encryption. There are also hardware based methods which allows for OS transparent hard drive encryption that would prevent the drive from being read in another system without the hardware key. File system is USUALLY not important. Since encryption at a hardware level bypasses the OS and is transparent to it.
People have developed many encryption algorithms. One particular encryption algorithm is the Rijndael algorithm, usually called the AES or Advanced Encryption Standard.
Encryption is converting plain text into cipher text . Yes, encryption can be cracked and then the text can be decrypted.
The sixth OSI model layer is called the presentation layer. Protocols at this layer take care of manipulation tasks that transform data from one representation to another, such as translation, compression and encryption. In many cases, no such functions are required in a particular networking stack; if so, there may not be any protocol active at layer six.http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_PresentationLayerLayer6.htm
"Evaluating cryptography is difficult since without 'breaking' the encryption its hard to say whether one encryption is better or not. Pretty Good Encryption (PGP) is asymmetric, that is the encryption and decryption keys are different which may give it an edge on symmetric encryption."
Basic encryption (up to 256 bit encryption) software costs around $400 per year. Encryption softwares are not 100% foolproof.
what does the word skit stand for in encryption
Encryption
Mostly for performance - symmetric encryption is much much faster (order of magnitudes) than asymmetric encryption.
