Encryption is a term that many of us have come across, but what does it mean? To put it simply, encryption is the encoding of information. Various online services use it to keep your data private and ...

SSL and TLS are similar technologies because they share a codebase, though one is better than the other. In fact, one is dead and the other still reigns supreme to the time this day. By end of this ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms for general encryption and digital signatures. NIST ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

Following six years of development, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has released draft standards for three algorithms that can resist future attacks by quantum computers. The U.S.

A known-plaintext attack (KPA) occurs when a hacker uses pairs of both encrypted and unencrypted data to figure out the encryption algorithm or key. In this attack, the hacker has access to both the ...
