The advanced cryptographic system is the security system that has an extra layer of security by an electronic token authenticator that generates a time-based number for the users to input while logging in with their password. It is suspected that the master key for the encryption algorithm was stolen, which is the huge secret number that is part of the system. 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. SecurID- a mechanism developed by RSA Security for performing two-factor authentication for a user to a network resource 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). The solution for this issue is to update the security system often and try to get against from hackers. Having SecurID make up a new algorithm to be used for the system could reinforce the system's security again, if it's possible to make up a new algorithm. Other than that, SecurID would probably have to make up a whole new security system since their current stolen algorithm is probably going to be published and recopied, and the system not secure anymore.
