GENERIC DOMAIN EXTENSIONS


GENERIC DOMAIN EXTENSIONS

Generic Domain extensions like those listed below are still the most common and popular domain registration extensions. Often companies will register their domain on a generic extension like .com or .org, and protect their name by registering the same domain on any and all international, specialty, and alternative extensions. This strategy not only allows for future development of localized websites for international markets, but protects your domain name, brand, and trademark all over the globe. It all begins with the most important extensions, which are still the generic ones.

.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .asia.com, .gr.com, .us.org, .coop, .aero, .name, .museum, .pro, .jobs, .travel, .mobi, .cat, .law.pro, .med.pro, .cpa.pro, .eng.pro, .avocat.pro, .bar.pro, .recht.pro, .jur.pro, .aaa.pro, .aca.pro, .acct.pro, .arc.pro, .bus.pro, .chi.pro, .chiro.pro, .den.pro, .dent.pro, .prof.pro, .teach.pro, .nurse.pro, .prx.pro, .pharma.pro, .rel.pro, .min.pro, .vet.pro, .cfp.pro, .ntr.pro, .opt.pro, .pha.pro, .pa.pro, .pod.pro, .psy.pro, .ed.pro, .pt.pro, .pr.pro, .nur.pro, .dds.pro, .tel

NextGen AntiKeylogger, as seen from its name, is the next generation anti-keylogger program which protects your data from all types of keylogging programs both known, unknown or being developed right now.

NextGen AntiKeylogger uses unique method of protection. It intercepts keystrokes at the lowest possible level, encrypts them and sends via its own protected path directly into the protected application. Thus, by using its own encrypted keystrokes path, NextGen AntiKeylogger defeats all types of software keyloggers.

NextGen AntiKeylogger stands out against a background of anti-spy software because of its unique features:
*          Constant and transparent "on-the-fly" protection.
*          No anti-virus signature database;
*          Protection against keystroke logging;
*          Ease of use.

Once installed, NextGen AntiKeylogger will guard your privacy
immediately,
transparently,
constantly,
silently



After all above always use Windows Updates and Updated Antivirus Programs with these any of the methods.

Cryptographic Algorithms used in Web Applications

Descriptions from wikipedia.

Md4 : MD4 (Message-Digest algorithm 4) is a message digest algorithm (the fourth in a series) designed by Professor Ronald Rivest of MIT in 1990. It implements a cryptographic hash function for use in message integrity checks. The digest length is 128 bits.


CRC : A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) or polynomial code checksum is a non-secure hash function designed to detect accidental changes to raw computer data, and is commonly used in digital networks and storage devices such as hard disk drives. A CRC-enabled device calculates a short, fixed-length binary sequence, known as the CRC code or just CRC, for each block of data and sends or stores them both together. When a block is read or received the device repeats the calculation; if the new CRC does not match the one calculated earlier, then the block contains a data error and the device may take corrective action such as rereading or requesting the block be sent again, otherwise the data is assumed to be error free (though, with some small probability, it may contain undetected errors; this is the fundamental nature of error-checking)


SHA-2 : In cryptography, SHA-2 is a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published in 2001 by the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA-2 includes a significant number of changes from its predecessor, SHA-1. SHA-2 consists of set of four hash functions with different digest sizes, with 224, 256, 384 or 512 bits respectively.


Adler-32 : Adler-32 is a checksum algorithm which was invented by Mark Adler in 1995. [1] Compared to a cyclic redundancy check of the same length, it trades reliability for speed. Adler-32 is more reliable than Fletcher-16, and slightly less reliable than Fletcher-32.


Salsa20 : Salsa20 is a stream cipher submitted to eSTREAM by Daniel Bernstein. It is built on a pseudorandom function based on 32-bit addition, bitwise addition (XOR) and rotation operations, which maps a 256-bit key, a 64-bit nonce (number used once), and a 64-bit stream position to a 512-bit output (a version with a 128-bit key also exists). This gives Salsa20 the unusual advantage that the user can efficiently seek to any position in the output stream. It offers speeds of around 4–14 cycles per byte in software on modern x86 processors, and reasonable hardware performance. It is not patented, and Bernstein has written several public domain implementations optimized for common architectures.


RIPEMD : RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a 160-bit message digest algorithm (cryptographic hash function) developed in Leuven (Belgium) by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers and Bart Preneel at the COSIC research group at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and first published in 1996. It is an improved version of RIPEMD, which in turn was based upon the design principles used in MD4, and is similar in performance to the more popular SHA-1.

There also exist 128, 256 and 320-bit versions of this algorithm, called RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, and RIPEMD-320, respectively. The 128-bit version was intended only as a drop-in replacement for the original RIPEMD, which was also 128-bit, and which had been found to have questionable security. The 256 and 320-bit versions diminish only the chance of accidental collision, and don't have higher levels of security as compared to, respectively, RIPEMD-128 and RIPEMD-160.


Tiger : In cryptography, Tiger is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1995 for efficiency on 64-bit platforms. The size of a Tiger hash value is 192 bits. Truncated versions (known as Tiger/128 and Tiger/160) can be used for compatibility with protocols assuming a particular hash size. Unlike the SHA-2 family, no distinguishing initialization values are defined; they are simply prefixes of the full Tiger/192 hash value.


HAVAL : HAVAL is a cryptographic hash function. Unlike MD5, but like most modern cryptographic hash functions, HAVAL can produce hashes of different lengths. HAVAL can produce hashes in lengths of 128 bits, 160 bits, 192 bits, 224 bits, and 256 bits. HAVAL also allows users to specify the number of rounds (3, 4, or 5) to be used to generate the hash.
HAVAL was invented by Yuliang Zheng, Josef Pieprzyk, and Jennifer Seberry in 1992.


MD5 : In cryptography, MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. Specified in RFC 1321, MD5 has been employed in a wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files. However, it has been shown that MD5 is not collision resistant; as such, MD5 is not suitable for applications like SSL certificates or digital signatures that rely on this property. An MD5 hash is typically expressed as a 32-digit hexadecimal number.


GOST : The GOST block cipher, defined in the standard GOST 28147-89, is a Soviet and Russian government standard symmetric key block cipher. Also based on this block cipher is the GOST hash function.

Developed in the 1970s, the standard had been marked "Top Secret" and then downgraded to "Secret" in 1990. Shortly after the dissolution of the USSR, it was declassified and it was released to the public in 1994. GOST 28147 was a Soviet alternative to the United States standard algorithm, DES. Thus, the two are very similar in structure.

Whirlpool : In computer science and cryptography, Whirlpool (sometimes styled WHIRLPOOL) is a cryptographic hash function designed by Vincent Rijmen (co-creator of the Advanced Encryption Standard) and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto first described in 2000. The hash has been recommended by the NESSIE project. It has also been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as part of the joint ISO/IEC 10118-3 international standard.


Snefru : Snefru is a cryptographic hash function invented by Ralph Merkle which supports 128-bit and 256-bit output. It was named after the Egyptian Pharaoh Sneferu, continuing the tradition of the Khufu and Khafre block ciphers.
