Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...

Encryption is a key technology for federal agencies. Although encryption is the primary goal, many encryption systems depend on a combination of tools to accomplish other tasks. Public-key ...

In this paper, the authors present a peer analysis in the field of encryption algorithms, in concentrating on private key block ciphers which are generally used for bulk data and link encryption. They ...

The Internet is one of the most important inventions in human history. It has changed our lives for the better, and it’s now an integral part of our society. We can’t go back to a world without it.

The anticipated advent of quantum computing will have a devastating impact on existing modes of asymmetric data encryption. It’s likely that quantum-capable cyber-thieves, not to mention adversaries ...

In 2015, The NSA’s Information Assurance Directorate issued guidance to postpone moving from RSA cryptography to elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) if they hadn’t already done so. The guidance stated: ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...
