In AES, the encryption key is used in conjunction with a block of data (usually 128 bits) to produce ciphertext. The same key is then used to decrypt the ciphertext back into plaintext.

When quantum computers become powerful enough to break current encryption protocols, long-term data security and confidentiality will be compromised, leaving businesses that are unprepared for quantum ...

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 ...

The post-quantum encryption algorithm that the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, released in final form today has been vetted for years by experts. The institute encouraged ...

Encryption stands as one of the most powerful tools in the network and cyber security arsenal, safeguarding data from breaches, cyber threats and unauthorized access.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently proposed standardizing the block and key size used in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to 256 bits. According to NIST ...

Following the release of the first set of post-quantum encryption algorithms, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is advancing a second series of options to protect important data.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has this week debuted its first post-quantum cyber security standard, designed to guarantee the protection of critical data and ...
