A proprietary algorithm developed by RSA Data Security, Inc., RC4 is a stream cipher. A stream cipher encrypts one byte at a time. The RC4 key size can range from 8 to 2048 bits. Note: The term cipher ...

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 ...

In recent years, the DES (Data Encryption Standard) has become vulnerable to attack by the raw computing horsepower that even a garage hobbyist possesses. Most security applications now use a method ...

This is my personal cipher of choice. DES Data Encryption Standard was designed in the early 1970s by IBM with input from NSA.

Prior to AES, the Data Encryption Standard (DES) became the federal standard for block symmetric encryption (FIPS 46) in 1977. DES was based on an algorithm developed by IBM and modified by the ...

The DES algorithm was (officially) developed by IBM after NBS solicited proposals for its encryption standard. At the time, there was concern over certain aspects of the algorithm's design.

This paper specifies the modification of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA) which may organizations to protect sensitive data.

Encryption offers an extra layer of security to keep lost data safe by rendering data worthless to unauthorized users. Algorithms convert data into ciphertext so that it can’t be cracked. The Triple ...
