Practical applications for I.T professionals looking to implement Symmetric Cryptography in Windows/Linux
Introduction Hello everyone, I FINALLY have a "somewhat" new topic to discuss in this weeks entry. I noticed a lot of professors who attempt to teach Network Security to their students either in a Computer Science or I.T setting do a very poor job of actually teaching the concepts and instead focus on a lot of "jargony" high-level Number Theory, that is truly not necessary if you plan on implementing cryptographic algorithms! This might be fine for an advanced subject of Cryptography in general, but often leads students confused and quite frankly puts most of them to sleep. Today instead I am going to be focusing in on "tools" one could potentially use in order to implement Network Security on computers in a way that makes sense in their school projects or in their day to day I.T job. I am briefly going to cover an number of of pieces of software that can be used for hard-disk encryption. Without further ado, we can begin to break everything down and le
