The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is proposing that the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a popular encryption algorithm, lose its certification for use in software products sold ...
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 ...
A proprietary algorithm developed by RSA Data Security, Inc., RC2 is an alternative to DES. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. RC2 is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks ...
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 ...

Encryption has become a routine part of everyday life. Your iPhone uses it to defeat cybercriminals and snoopers. Security cameras may use it to keep footage private. And your VPN definitely uses it, ...
U.S. Air Force Airmen 1st Class Austin Marino and Nicholas Owens, 81st Communications Squadron cyber defense operators, program new laptops for base personnel at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, ...
In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...
