Encryption with Python

 Encryption 

The most famous hash functions like MD5 algorithm and SHA256 algorithm can be utilized with small lines of codes in python. I find it really beautiful and these are one of reasons I love python so much. 

Let's look at the md5 first. The principle behind the hash encryption is that, the process of authentication is done by comparing encrypted data. So we don't need to decrypt the encrypted data. So, let's check out some cool functions using md5 with python. 
 

But there are some good reasons that you shouldn't use the md5 anymore. You can check why md5 is not very secure by putting your encrypted data into md5 decyptor. 


There is some ways that you can improve the security of md5 by adding salt. Here is another fancy functions provided by python that you can easily add salt. 
 

You can also use another hashing functions like sha1, sha256, whirlpool and so on. You can check the available algorithms using print(hashlib.algorithms_available).


And finally, this is the code that you can check it out how to use different kind of hashing algorithms and improve security.

TCP with Python

TCP with socket programming in python  TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)  Connection-oriented : Client and Server connection must be established before transferring data  Three way handshake, re-transmission, error-detection increases the reliability but lengthens latency TCP abstracts the application's communication from the underlying networking details  Used by : WWW, email, FTP, secure shell, peer to peer file sharing, streaming media  Optimized for reliability, and this may require long delivery time  Functions provided by TCP  Three way handshake  Requesting re-transmission of lost data  Rearrange out of order data Helps minimize network congestion to reduce the occurrence of other problems

Learn Thread with C/C++, Python  What is Thread ?  Thread is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system. Multiple threads can reside in a process, executing concurrently and sharing resources such as memory. While processes do not share resources, thread share resources in a process, and this leads to smaller overhead between context switching compared to processes.  Program VS Process VS Thread Comparing process with thread  Process   Heavyweight unit of kernel scheduling due to their resources  Resources include memory, file handles, sockets, device handles, windows and PCB Creating or destroying a process is relatively expensive as resources must be acquired or released.  Thread  Kernel Thread

UDP with Python

-
  UDP with socket programming in python UDP(User Datagram Protocol) Applications send messages(datagrams) to other hosts on an IP network.   Prior communications are not required to set up communication channels  Is a simple connection-less communication model(no handshakes) with a minimum of protocol mechanism.  There is no guarantee of delivery, ordering, or duplicate protection. Suitable for purposes where error checking and connections are not necessary.   TCP vs UDP  TCP  Reliable : TCP manages message acknowledgment, re-transmission and timeouts. If data gets lost along the way, data will be re-sent.  Ordered : even if data segments arrive in wrong order, TCP buffers the out of order data until all data can be properly reordered and delivered to the application  Heavy Weight :
