If it's just a superficial article, it's all the same with a few tools and software. There is no difficulty.

If we want to go deeper, information security needs advanced mathematics. Data mining is not that harsh.

Reason:

1. Once information security develops to a deeper level, it means encryption, decryption, cracking, anti-cracking, steganography and anti-steganography. And at a deeper level, advanced algorithms and mathematics are needed. This is not as simple as getting some encryption software! ! ! Even in the highest national security field.

2. The deeper data mining is in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. But in the end, this field is more inclined to recognition and application, which belongs to the category of statistical analysis and recognition results. But at present, statistical theories are ready-made, and it is unlikely to invent any new statistical theories, so in fact, they are mainly used. Therefore, the depth of truth is more general. Compared with the security field, the security field must be top-notch and one step ahead, otherwise there will be no security secrets, so the requirements are higher.

The above is my understanding for your reference.
