Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text ...

As NIST rolls out advanced PQC standards to address the ‘Harvest now, decrypt later’ threat, a new report suggests that a ...

In the same move, NIST advanced four additional algorithms as potential replacements pending further testing, in hopes one or more of them may also be suitable encryption alternatives in a post ...

Safe Encryption Before It’s Too Late Cybersecurity has always had to keep pace with the evolution of cyberattacks. These attacks started gaining prominence in the late 80s, in line with ...

A year ago today, the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) published the first ever official standard for ...

The best known block cipher is AES, short for Advanced Encryption Standard. Ciphertext produced with 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit AES go through 10 rounds, 12 rounds, and 14 rounds respectively.

Advanced memory encryption technologies also involve integrity and protocol level anti-replay techniques for high-end use-cases. Proven hash algorithms like SHA-2, SHA-3, SM3, or (AES-)GHASH can be ...

All four TETRA encryption algorithms use 80-bit keys to secure communication. But the Dutch researchers revealed in 2023 that ...
