MANAGING INFORMATION SECURITY IN DIGITAL AGE
Abstract
Exchange of information in secret and secured manner has been the focus of all concerned from time immemorial. With ever evolving Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), it has shifting perspectives. In digital age, cryptographic efforts for controlling menace of eavesdroppers are evolving and getting standardized with digital identity creation, verification, validation, encryption etc. Recently digital steganographic concepts and techniques have developed the expertise to hide a digital message in a digital cover to avoid detection of its existence while being exchanged between sender and receiver.
An eavesdropper keeps on analyzing procedures used by fair players for message exchange in secured and secret manner. A successful analyzing attempt may lead to misuse of the intercepted information. The game of securing message at one end and rummaging of involved procedures in form of crypt-analysis or steganalysis on the other side is continuously increasing.. Controlling and managing information security has become more complex, when interceptors happen to be from law enforcement agency. The paper deals with such scenarios of information security management.
