Abstract

"Cryptography" is a benediction to information processing and communications; it helps people to store information securely and the private communications over long distances. Crypto virology is the study of applications of cryptography to build the malicious software. It is an investigation, how modern cryptographic tools and paradigms can be used to strengthen, develop and improve new malicious software attacks. Crypto virology attacks have been categorized as: give malware enhanced privacy and be more robust against reverse-engineering, secondly give the attacker enhanced anonymity while communicating with deployed malware. This paper presents the idea of ``Crypto virology'' which introduce a twist on how cryptography can also be used offensively.
