• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

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 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 ...

Cryptography algorithms contain keys, which can encrypt or decrypt data. There are two different types of cryptography used in data scrambling: symmetric, where both the sender and receiver have the ...

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further ...

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.

In 1977, NIST finalized its Data Encryption Standard, or DES, and while known today to be insecure, it proved influential across industry and academia at the time, not least in financial services, ...

NIST plans to issue a draft standard incorporating the HQC algorithm in about a year, with a finalized standard expected in 2027. Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can ...

That said, implementing a standard for encrypting data is crucial in securing people's data. However, the weak chips inside these devices call for an algorithm that can deliver robust encryption ...
