Error checking AND encryption Flashcards
(14 cards)
name the types of error checking
Parity check
checksum
echo check
AQR check
parity check
the calculation of and 8 or 16 bit data aka sum of all 1s to see if the data is ODD OR EVEN
out of 8 bits 7 bits are used last bit is added which is called A PARITY BIT ussaly the first or last bit
before transmition is sums the number of 1s and if odd the a 1 IS ADDED
IF EVEN THEN A 0 is added
checksum
a value that is calculated to check for errors
a methord such as modulus 11 could be used to calculate this value
it is transmited with the packet and the reciving devices calculates it the same thing using the same methord to cross check the value it calculated and the value that was transmited
echo check
once the data is recived from the sender the reciving device SENDS A COPY OF THE ORRIGNAL IT RECIVED BACK TO THE SENDER and the orignal sender checks the content of the data to the orrignal that was first sent and if they match it sends an okay message.
if it doesnt match it sends another packet and the old data is deleted
ARQ
the sending device sends the first pacets
when it is recived the data is checked for errors using the 3 methords
once checked if there are no errors the reciving device sends an acknowledgment back
if an error was sent it does NOT send an acknowledgment thus the sender starts a timer if no response come from the reciving computer after that time frame then it resents the data
check digit
method to check data when it comes to data entry like from a bar code scanner
a value is generated from the data and at some point in the qr or barcode it is added
when it is entered or scanned that value is part of the entry and the computer uses the same method to check the sum and see if the check digit value calculated matches the one entered and the data entered.
Encryption
method of securing data for storage or transmission that scrambles and makes the data meaning less unless you know how it was encrypted
name given to text before it has been encrypted
plain text COME ON IDIOT
two types of encryption types?
symmetric and ASYMMETRIC
encryption key
a type of algorithm that is used to encrypt data
cipher text
the name given to data after transmission that was first encrypted
symmetric encryption?
type of encryption that uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt data
PLAN TEXT ENCRYPTED USING A KEY AND IS DECRYPTED USING THE SAME ONE
asymmetric encryption?
a type of encryption that uses two different types of keys
before sending it is encrypted using the public key which is public and every device has one
BUT TO DECRYPT THE DATA YOU SEED THE PRIVATE KEY WHICH IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH DATA TRANSMITION
