Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

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 ...

In today's electronic age, the importance of digitalcryptography in securing electronic data transactions isunquestionable. Every day, users electronically generate andcommunicate a large volume of ...

Symmetric encryption uses one secret key for both encryption and decryption (for example, AES or ChaCha20 ciphers). Symmetric algorithms are fast and well-understood, and the good news is that ...

Although most users don’t know it, their Web browser plays a key part in determining the strength of the ciphers used between their client and an HTTPS-protected Web site. Encryption ciphers used in ...

Aeolus VPN now offers point-to-point asymmetric PQC and symmetric encryption for UDP and TCP on Windows, Linux and macOS platforms. Aeolus VPN offers a streamlined approach to privacy which results in ...

Threats to computer and network security increase with each passing day and come from a growing number of sources. No computer or network is immune from attack. A recent concern is the susceptibility ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Many embedded systems depend on obscurity to achieve security. We often design systems to download unsigned or unencrypted firmware upgrades or store unencrypted user data, a practice we justify ...

There is a potential dark side to quantum computing, one that is a threat to how we secure data. Back in 1994, Peter Shor developed an algorithm for factoring large numbers using a quantum computer, ...
