Analysis of Social Engineering Attack on Cryptographic Algorithm

The primary objective of this research is to analyze the various types of social engineering attacks on cryptographic algorithm, the modus operandi of attackers, the damage that can be done, preventing measures, how to recover in the aftermath of such attacks and perhaps a new model of prevention against such attacks. The methodology for the analysis used in this research will be a case study method of research, done by thorough scrutiny of secondary data and the methodology used in the development of a new security model will be combination of various security algorithms to bring forth a new hybrid security model. The purpose of this study is to give an understanding regarding the matter of Social Engineering and to clarify how it may be utilized to damage a networks framework or/and trade off information and suggest a suitable model.
