The fight within encryption

Author

Abstract

Powered by rapid growth in hardware capabilities and easy availability of encryption technologies, network traffic is entering a phase of ‘encrypt everything’. Encryption protects network traffic from interception by intruders. It also renders the traffic unintelligible to Infosec teams, who are hindered by the inability to detect and distinguish the good traffic from the evil. In recent times we have witnessed a sharp spike in encrypted malware attacks. Do technical security problems have straightforward technical solutions? ‘It depends’, as the seasoned security professional would say. This paper discusses the various types of encrypted attacks along with the legal and ethical aspect of the proposed technical solutions.
