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 ...

Recently, Professor Guilu Long, Dr. Zeguo Wang, Dr. Shijie Wei from Tsinghua University and Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences, and Professor Lajos Hanzo from the University of ...

An encryption method that uses the same private (secret) key at both ends of the transmission. Contrast with asymmetric cryptography, which uses a public and private key. See secret key cryptography.

Encryption is the process of converting readable data, known as plaintext, into a jumbled string of data called ciphertext. Encryption algorithms use mathematical operations to scrabble data, making ...

In July, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies selected four cryptography algorithms as national standards for public key security in order to prepare for an era of quantum computers, ...

Eruces Data Security has secured a patent for its three-step encryption and key management scheme, which is designed to lock down data through its lifecycle. The security firm’s so-called Tricryption ...

The adoption of devices for the internet of things will depend very much on their communication to the Internet being secure. There are many aspects to being able to secure connections between client ...

Imagine a world where the most widely-used cryptographic methods turn out to be broken: quantum computers allow encrypted Internet data transactions to become readable by anyone who happened to be ...
