The Triple Data Encryption Standard, or Triple DES algorithm, evolved from the original DES algorithm introduced as a standard in 1976 (Reference 2, page 3). DES uses 56 bits of a 64-bit key to ...

Data Encryption Standard was designed in the early 1970s by IBM with input from NSA. It is OK, but a single key can be broken in three days by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a poorly funded ...

The goal of encryption is to send along encrypted data to a third party, who will then decrypt that information into a usable form with a decryption key. “The method used to conduct the scrambling ...

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone -- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data.

This paper proposes a high-throughput implementation of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) supporting encryption and decryption with 128-bit cipher key. Subscribe to the Cybersecurity Insider ...

The four algorithms announced today signal the beginning of the final phase of NIST’s research, which hones in on developing new public-key cryptography standards.

Some bad actors are already harvesting encrypted data now to store it in hopes that they can decrypt it down the line when quantum computers become more powerful.

In a nutshell: Researchers at China's Tsinghua University believe they have discovered a quantum-based algorithm capable of breaking today's most complex encryption standards. The team claims that ...
