Generally speaking, encryption algorithms come in two flavors, symmetric and public key. Symmetric algorithms, such as Blowfish, use the same key for encryption and decryption. Like a password, you ...

With algorithmic decryption advancements by cybercriminals threatening standard cryptographic algorithms, business leaders must ensure their algorithms are not susceptible to being cracked.

New attacks recover and decrypt authentication cookies from 3DES and Blowfish protected traffic. OpenSSL will deprecate 3DES’ designation from high to medium.
