In an identity based encryption scheme, the public key is something tied to your identity—your name, your e-mail, or, in the example Prof. Sahai relayed to me, your fingerprint.

Key management means securing encryption keys from unauthorized access to the data. You can do a lot to protect your keys. This includes generating new keys often, managing key assignation and ...

For example, you’d have Microsoft hold your data, which is encrypted using keys you create and manage, but a cloud-based service stores copies of those keys in a key repository. Such vendors ...

For example, a quorum of three security administrators has to jointly make changes to the encryption infrastructure, but one database administrator can authorize the use of a key.

It leverages the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to perform symmetric data encryption using the secret key. The encrypted data is returned in the form of a Base64 string.

Learn how homomorphic encryption enables secure AI data processing by allowing computations on encrypted data without ...

Nowadays, encryption standards such as RSA and ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) commonly utilize lengths ranging from 1024 to 2048 bits. While these key sizes are currently deemed secure against ...

In my blog “The Methods of Memory Encryption to Protect Data in Use,” I discussed how the XTS/XEX mode of encryption was the appropriate choice for protecting data stored in and accessed from memory, ...

CircleCi, a software company whose products are popular with developers and software engineers, confirmed that some customers’ data was stolen in a data breach last month.

For example, they can use a USB flash drive to boot an alternate operating system and try to read the drive; if the data on that drive is stored without encryption, they have access to everything ...
