The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is proposing that the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a popular encryption algorithm, lose its certification for use in software products sold ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...

It takes an expert to determine whether a cryptographic system is truly secure, but CSOs can learn to spot red flags To determine if a cryptographic protocol or system is actually secure takes an ...

In 2010, an estimated 8.6 million households had at least one person who experienced identity theft victimization, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The list of security risks continues ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen the first group of encryption tools that are designed to withstand the assault of a future quantum ...

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...

Cryptographic algorithms can be roughly classified in two categories: Encryption algorithms transform an input file into an output file from which it is (quite) impossible to recover the original ...
