The algorithm, sometimes referred to as single DES, uses a 56-bit key to encrypt blocks of data, and can produce up to 72 trillion unique keys.

Senior executives must recognize that embedded encryption's long-neglected fragility poses a systemic risk to enterprise ...

RSA — An asymmetric encryption algorithm, RSA is one of the oldest and most widely used standards for data encryption online. It is relatively slow, but it is regarded as very secure.

The four encryption algorithms selected will become part of NIST’s post-quantum cryptographic standard, expected to be finalized in the coming years. CRYSTALS-Kyber was selected as a Key Encapsulation ...

This tactic has a name: “harvest now, decrypt later.” ...

Like older encryption algorithms such as DES (Data Encryption Standard) and 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard), the purpose of the AES algorithm is to scramble and substitute input data based ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem.

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...
