Using Cryptology in Enforcing Database Security Traveling Through Networks and Cloud Computing

This paper discusses what cryptography is, the practice of using cryptography, and different cryptographic algorithms and their strengths and weaknesses. Cryptographic measures are often the last line of security in a potential security breach and it is important to implement into an organization’s security grid. However, using a cryptographic system does come with risks. This paper will go over those risks as well as what makes a cryptographic system strong and what makes them weak. Using a weak cryptographic system can be worse than using no cryptography at all, and we will look into some of the potential attacks on a weak cryptographic system
