Cryptology is not a science that
can be learned by acquiring a certification, such as
the CISSP. While the CISSP is an excellent
certification and provides information security
professionals with a broad overview of information
security areas, it covers only some of the basic
concepts of cryptology. You or your organization
should use a professional cryptologist with years of
academic training and industry experience.
We do not remarket or receive a
commission from any cryptographic product provider.
We give professional, unbiased advice and can guide
you through the process of procuring and
implementing an encryption product or products.
Why you or your organization might
need cryptography:
You would never send private or
sensitive data to someone on a postcard. You would
use an envelope to protect the contents. Sending
information over a computer network or the Internet
is exactly like using that postcard unless you use
cryptography to put an electronic envelope around
the data. Cryptography can be used not only to
protect data, but to ensure that you are the sender
of the data, not someone pretending to be you.
In companies that store sensitive
information such as names, addresses, Social
Security Numbers or health information, cryptography
can be used to make sure that only authorized staff
can read the data.
Notice up till now, we haven't used
the word encryption. While encryption using a cipher
is best 99% of the time for protecting data, we can
also demonstrate other methods like steganography. We will recommend the
best solution for your need. Some
federally-certified products are even free.
Why you or your organization might
need cryptanalysis
If an employee leaves and no one
remembers the password to the QuickBooks data, or
you suspect an employee is misusing company time or
data and need into his account without the employee
knowing about it we can solve these problems for you.
Our new Tesla supercomputer can find passwords in a
couple of days that used to take over a year to
find. We can crack passwords used by many popular
programs in just a few minutes.
Classes
We offer cryptology classes that
provide all of the information needed to pass the
cryptography component of the CISSP. This class also
provides information beyond the CISSP-level, some of
which corrects or augments information contained in
CISSP preparation books. We use a variety of
teaching aids in our classes including a real German
Enigma machine from World War Two.
