Introduction to Nessus Tutorial
Nessus is public domain software released under the GPL. Nessus is designed to automate the testing and discovery of known security problems. Allowing system administrators to correct problems before they are exploited. Historically, many in the corporate world have frowned on such public domain software, instead choosing "supported" products developed by established companies. Usually these packages cost thousands of dollars and the license is based upon the number of IP addresses scanned. However, many in the corporate world are now starting to realize that public domain software, such as Nessus, NMap, Apache, and MySQL, is often superior to similiar comercial products.

An Introduction to Block Cipher Algorithms and Their Applications in Communication Security
Block Cipher algorithms are a type of Symmetric Key Encryption. Symmetric Key encryption is a key-based encryption in which the same key that is used to encrypt sensitive data is used to decrypt the sensitive data. The disadvantage of Symmetric Key encryption is that it only requires the person wishing to break the encryption to obtain only one key. For this reason, the key must be protected and secured. The key is often called a secret key.

Biometric Authentication, An Introduction
Historically, usernames and passwords are the most common form of authenticating computer users. They are also both the worst management headache for IT staff and the biggest network security hole in existence. Many help desks handle more password related calls than any other category. Users routinely share their passwords with one another. We have passwords on yellow sticky notes on the monitor and under the keyboard. If you don't find the password there, try the Rolodex under "P" for Password.
