Thesis Details
Kryptovirologie
This thesis is focused on a relatively new branch of computer security called Cryptovirology. It uses cryptography and its principles in conjunction with designing and writing malicious codes (e.g. computer viruses, trojan horses, worms). Techniques such as viral propagation through computer networks, capabilities of current viruses and similar threats are described. Beside cryptography and computer viruses, design of the cryptovirus and methods of a cryptoviral extortion attack along with their related potential are also analyzed below in this paper. As a proof of the concept in the given area of cryptovirology, a demonstrational computer program was written. The program was implemented with the respect to the satisfaction of the essentials set to the cryptovirus.
