    This document discusses key concepts in computer network security including security goals, attacks, services, and mechanisms. The main security goals are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Common security attacks are snooping, modification, masquerading, replaying, and denial of service. Security services include authentication, data integrity, non-repudiation, and access control. Corresponding security mechanisms are encryption, digital signatures, authentication exchanges, and access control. The levels of impact from attacks can be low, moderate, or high. Security aims to provide services through controls to mitigate threats from vulnerabilities and attacks.

    Security Attacks

    • Passive Attack
    • Just to obtain information. Does not Modify or harm the
    system.

    • Active Attack
    • May Change the Data and harm the system.

    Levels of Impact

    We can define 3 levels of impact from a security


    attack
    Low - The loss is minor
    Moderate - The loss is serious
    High - The loss severe or catastrophic

    10
    Three Aspects of Security

    • The three aspects of information security are


    • security attack
    • security mechanism (control)
    • security service
    • Some terms
    • threat – a potential for violation of security
    • vulnerability – a way by which loss can happen
    • attack – an attempt to avoid security services
