• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

IDEA International Data Encryption Algorithm was produced by Xuejia Lai and James Massey. It is fairly fast, is considered secure, and it is also resistant to both linear and differential analysis.

It turns out that breaking an encryption algorithm meant to withstand the most powerful cyberattacks imaginable might not be as tough as we’d been led to believe. In a paper published over the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced an algorithm that could serve as a second line of defense to ensure encrypted information stays encrypted in the face of an attack from a ...

Symmetric-key encryption is what people usually think of as encryption. It allows data and messages to be scrambled using a “key” so they are indecipherable to anyone without the key.

One important aspect of the encryption process is that it almost always involves both an algorithm and a key. A key is just another piece of information, almost always a number, that specifies how ...

The National Institute for Standards and Technology has removed a controversial encryption algorithm from a key security document after years of reports that it contained a backdoor for the National ...

Android has required that smartphones support storage encryption since Android 6 in 2015, but low-end devices have remained exempt because the demand would significantly impact performance. And ...

The first public key encryption algorithm: RSA The first algorithms using asymmetric keys were devised in secret by the British government's SIGINT agency, GCHQ, in 1973.
