Currently the involvement of these citizens who assists the process of innovation, strengthens the technological knowledge base, the hacker culture has a fundamental relationship with the Brazilian and multinational corporate entities that dominate the IT industry.<br /><br />Clearly, this scenario suffers the effects of information security, the more people involved in a project, more innovation and evolution is computer generated. Simple versions to illustrate how this concept is described are some open source projects and independent Linux distributions have been excellent.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">INTRODUCTION</h4>Due to the advancement of technology  emerged the cypherpunks (the name derives from 'cipher', cipher code and punk) defend the right to freedom and privacy, making use of and contributing to the future of encryption and similar techniques in order to establish political revolutions and even social. Started in the early 1990s, the movement led to its peak during cyberwars and also in the period of Internet censorship better known as the Arab Spring in 2011.<br /><br />The term can be used to refer to any individual activist,security groups or for a general philosophy. First, cypherpunks advocate the use of encryption as a tool for data protection and personal privacy or corporate in a universe where information is increasingly available on the network.<br /><br />The movement began with groups of information security in the late 1980s and early 90s who communicated primarily through mailing lists online, was strongly influenced by the hacker culture, concerns with the government, your personal data, civil law and the implications for supervision of superpowers. The hackers were the first to recognize the growing problem of online privacy.<br />To paraphrase Richard Stallman, “The use of hacker to mean security breaker is a confusion on the part of the mass media. We hackers refuse to recognize that meaning, and continue using the word to mean, someone who loves to program and enjoys being clever about it".<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">CONTEXT</h4>To answer this, hackers revolutionary or  “Cypherpunks” put themselves in front of a major challenge in coding and implementation of the technology required supporting the objective of the advent of encrypting files, data, and documents for secure anonymous networks, email, web browsing and financial transactions.<br />From the beginning, a number of groups of experts aimed at protecting the data and ensure privacy online.<br /><br />They have been responsible for the creation and dispersion of the software used to promote anonymity online. Heavily involved in political debates and issues that involve the use encryption.<br />The cypherpunks are a strong influence on the data encryption, they are generally well educated and professionally made, using the use of cryptography and computer programming, despite the implications of the term "punk", they cover a wide range of incomes, and ethnicities social classes. At a critical point in history where our data are drifting like garbage in the ocean, there was the awakening of the hacker culture creating and innovating techniques of privacy and anonymity.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">PROCEEDINGS OF THOUGHT</h4>Readers in mind various dimensions and critical thinking, stopped to watch through the eyes and mind of a hacker? Have you ever wondered how they act, how much need and responsibility affects their daily life, how to apply your strength or support any movement, as to base their ethics and politics, which made it so?<br /><br />Well, we're hackers, and like everyone else we want to do our part to contribute to a more just and egalitarian society, defend the right of freedom and expression.<br /><br />Currently, encryption has evolved such that we think that we are vulnerable, we are just targets, there is the goal of obtaining unique security solutions for citizens, governments, military, health agencies and multinational companies, and finance departments legal, actually became essential to establish equilibrium.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">SAFETY FIRST WORLD</h4>There is only one encryption system known perfectly safe; all encryption methods ever conceived,only one was mathematically proven to be completely safe.<br /><br />It's called "Vernam cipher or one-time pad“, the value of all other figures are based on computer security, this code is mathematically calculated to ensure autonomy and privacy. This means that the probability of breaking the encryption key using computer technology and algorithms currently available within a reasonable time, is not supposed to be extremely small, but impossible. Each cryptographic algorithm except the “One-Time Pad” can be broken given certain space of time, even though it may delay. Example, systems of public key encryption such as PGP, RSA is based on the following:<br /><br />The security of these systems is simply based on the computational difficulty of calculation, to break this number N such methods should be followed, and by the time these systems are designed the best publicly available algorithms for factoring would take millions of years to factor a 200-digit number.<br />This does not logically exclude the possibility of technological invention capable of running at high speed factoring algorithms.<br /><b><br /></b><b>How do you know that the encryption system you use is really safe? Do you understand how it works?</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Do you think if a government institution or military intelligence had a method of breaking cryptosystems that would advertise this fact?</b><br /><br />Systems security is a matter of utmost importance for anyone with a natural distrust and those attracted to positions of power. The interception and decoding of personal communications can be literally a matter of life or death for some individuals.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">CONCLUSION</h4>The result of the work of a new and innovative computer technology known as the quantum computer, an algorithm for factoring now exists for factoring integers in linear time giants. It was created in 1994 by Peter Shor of AT & T Bell Laboratories. An engine to process quantum Shor's algorithm could factor a hundred digit integers in a few arithmetic operations in a matter of time fast.<br /><br />Quantum computers are functioning prototypes exist information on the implementation of a scalable matrix inversion in the time optimized(SMITH).<br /><br />In 1917,during the First World War,the American scientist Gilbert Vernam was given the task of inventing a method of encryption that the Germans could not break through by AT & T.<br /><br />What was planned was the only proven unbreakable encryption scheme known to date. In comparison with most encryption systems is a very simple way. To use a one-time pad, you need 2 copies of the "pad” (also known as the key), which is a source of random data to the message you want to encode.<br /><br />If the data on the ' pad' is not truly random, the security of the block is committed.<br />The 'pad' should never be reused, are unique and not reused. The decisive factor is that the 'pad' may be used only once, the purpose is “OneTime”, that is the point of this model. Its engine is based on the VOC technology (Virtual Cascade OTP) and fully resistant crypto analysis and is much safer as “Acid Cryptofiler”, used by NATO. This algorithm is designed for citizens who desire freedom and privacy, secret agents, agencies that operate in foreign countries, can be used by journalists, lawyers, doctors, police...<br />Random data to ' pad' should never be generated only by software.<br /><br />It should be developed through processes, access to the hardware of a truly non-deterministic nature. If you intend to provide or secure highly confidential information through insecure channels, a telephone, and you need absolute certainty that there will be decrypted ciphertext is intercepted then there is no choice but to use the Vernam algorithm.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>About The Author</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW20uw8T8ysccUKPby8pUltzOvGP9SFROKU-o2mqHEuxLw9FUwB3OsaAAr535b818hL9f3KxihgWtIlfaPNaruznzRxx3X9NVNlCf8tFj19pIEDs2NMnIO2nT2U4oBsNSY23ZIVvbJfVZo/s1600/desouze.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW20uw8T8ysccUKPby8pUltzOvGP9SFROKU-o2mqHEuxLw9FUwB3OsaAAr535b818hL9f3KxihgWtIlfaPNaruznzRxx3X9NVNlCf8tFj19pIEDs2NMnIO2nT2U4oBsNSY23ZIVvbJfVZo/s200/desouze.jpg" /></a>This is a guest post written by , <b>RAFAEL FONTES SOUZA</b>.

A common method is based on the assumed difficulty of finding the prime factors of large numbers, but many security researchers were touting new codes based on a different and innovative math involving elliptic curves, but what if some entity or someone with great skill and can pick these constants so as to make the codes vulnerable to decoding result, this could be a global threat.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">INTRODUCTION</h4>Most encryption systems utilize generating pseudo-random numbers as part of a complex mathematical codes in the creation of virtually unbreakable sequences were generated numbers can be predicted, this would make the code was broken attacked given power sufficient processing and a certain amount of time.<br />According to documents revealed by Edward Snowden (systems administrator fugitive from NSA who now lives in Russia and was considered a spy) the National Security Agency is three steps ahead in secret cyber war, using his favor supercomputers, techniques evolved and hitherto unknown to crack encrypted data, court orders, persuasion and agreement with major companies, to corrupt the main tools that protect the privacy of Internet communications usual.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">CONTEXT</h4>Supposedly the NSA can break the codes that allow for private communication over the internet and also sabotage them. The strategy includes undermine the supposed official standards bodies and major IT companies bribe. The goal would be to insert  "backdoors" , The New York Times cites a document  "<b>GCHQ</b>" which says that the NSA has large amounts of encrypted data that used to be discarded and are now exploitable , and that was an aggressive effort toward breaking technologies encryption considered safe.<br /><br />The recent leak suggests that not only was spying from foreign adversaries , but also commercial rivals of American businesses , something that other foreign companies and governments are worrying for years , there are those who are suspicious of <b>Mr. Snowden</b> and his allies , and contest the references taken from the leaked documents , and defend the role of the NSA , on the other hand can now put protectionist as privacy advocates and national dignity , German politicians have asked that people avoid American web companies if they want to keep their data insurance, the Indian government is considering a ban on the use of Google's Gmail service to send official communications and technology companies in places like Russia and Switzerland has seen a considerable increase in inquiries from companies seeking a haven for their data order to keep them protected.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">CURIOSITY</h4>The largest technology companies , with its global horizons spread around the world , have more to lose (reputation) , including Facebook , Microsoft , Google and Yahoo , may be requested through actions by the Court of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance America that is requested permission to reveal more detailed information on the types of orders and requests they receive from U.S. government agencies , an information document "<b>Bullrun</b>" says the NSA had developed innovative capabilities against encrypted Web chats and phone calls and also performed successfully attack techniques against Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and virtual private networks (VPN).<br /><br />At this present time where we are vulnerable as rabbits return to the wolf pack, there is ways to get around this use tools that employ open-source and the best strategies , in the case of open source encryption the advantage is that the algorithm can be examined freely to potential security vulnerabilities that can arise throughout the tests.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">SOLUTION</h4><b>Workarounds and useful tools:</b><br /><br />GPG an open-source implementation of the OpenPGP protocol used to encrypt e-mail communications.<br />TrueCrypt (encryption on-the -fly OTFE) to confidential files , folders and entire drives on your PC , encryption, it can create a virtual encrypted disk or encrypt a partition , individual algorithms supported by TrueCrypt are AES , Serpent and Twofish, additionally , five different combinations of cascaded algorithms are available : <b>AES - Twofish , AES - Twofish - Serpent , Serpent - AES , Serpent - Twofish - AES and Twofish - Serpent . Uses RIPEMD - 160, SHA - 512 and Whirlpool</b> as hashing functions .<br /><br /><b>TAILS</b>, a Linux distribution built for safety and anonymity, comes with numerous tools privacy and encryption, which lets you surf the web (mostly) in an almost anonymous .<br /><br />Messages off- the-record, or OTR , an encryption protocol to encrypt and authenticate communications and instant messaging also use others as TLS and IPsec ,remember also apply to other software such as Silent Circle and BleachBit .<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">CONCLUSION</h4>Regarding PRIVACY is important to know how to control the availability and exposure of your data , the AES algorithm was proposed to replace DES, NIST ("National Institute of Standards and Technology U.S.") held a competition (The selection process began in 1997 and ended in 2000 with the victory of the Rijndael algorithm written by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen) for it to be made an algorithm that would be called "Advanced Encryption Standard " that meets the following specifications: algorithm publicly defined;<br /><br />Being a symmetric cipher block; Designed for the key size can be increased; Deployable in both hardware and software; Powered freely, this algorithm Encrypt and Decrypt using an encrypted key and blocks, both sizes of 128,192 or 256 bits.<br /><br />Concluding , I will address the most advanced technique for encryption , we got the "<b>One Time Pad</b>" (OTP) or "<b>Vernam Cypher</b>" single key cipher is an encryption algorithm where the plaintext is combined with a random key or " pad " that is as large as the plaintext and used only once , if the key is truly random , never reused , and kept secret , the one- time pad is unbreakable!<br /><br /><b>About the Author, RAFAEL FONTES SOUZA.</b><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW20uw8T8ysccUKPby8pUltzOvGP9SFROKU-o2mqHEuxLw9FUwB3OsaAAr535b818hL9f3KxihgWtIlfaPNaruznzRxx3X9NVNlCf8tFj19pIEDs2NMnIO2nT2U4oBsNSY23ZIVvbJfVZo/s1600/desouze.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW20uw8T8ysccUKPby8pUltzOvGP9SFROKU-o2mqHEuxLw9FUwB3OsaAAr535b818hL9f3KxihgWtIlfaPNaruznzRxx3X9NVNlCf8tFj19pIEDs2NMnIO2nT2U4oBsNSY23ZIVvbJfVZo/s200/desouze.jpg" width="187" /></a>Over the years, acquiring knowledge of Webmaster Programmer (HTML5,CSS,XML,ActionScript), developer in languages like Python, Shell Script, Perl, Pascal, Ruby, Object Pascal, C and Java.
