Abstract

Current PC security tools were designed primarily for stand-alone systems. Distributed systems, in which multiple PC users access multiple resources over interconnected networks (LANs, WANs, etc.), is the current trend of applications. The already difficult job of securing the PC is getting even more difficult. With recent advancement of cryptographic research, cryptography did more than just manipulates data to turn meaningful message into nonsense to provide data security. Cryptography can also provide solutions for many different applications. In this paper, security problems for PC/workstation will be briefly discussed. Then we will address those cryptographic applications for PCs.
