With the rise of information that is sent through cyberspace, there is greater sensitivity by individuals to protecting their privacy. To properly address the concerns that arise from operating in this new open environment, secure communication protocols need to be implemented. Many issues that were previously irrelevant now may have considerable impact on the design of the hardware, firmware and the applications. It is worthwhile to analyze the security needs of the application first. This analysis involves the classification of risks in terms of costs. The cost can come in the form of loss of revenue, legal fees, and even damage to reputation resulting from bad publicity. For most applications, the risks can be elicited from a discussion that covers the following points.
a- Authentication.
b- Message Integrity.
c- Confidentiality.
d- Non-repudiation.
