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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is accepting feedback on the Federal Information Processing Standards 203, 204 and 205 draft standards until November 22, according to its ...

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 ...
