Members can download this article in PDF format. The security of cryptographic applications critically relies on symmetric keys and private keys that are continually kept secret. The method used to ...

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 ...

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...

Asymmetric-key algorithms are generally slower than symmetric-key algorithms and are used in cases where only a single operation of the algorithm is required, such as the generation of a digital ...

Quantum computing may sound theoretical, but the implications are very real and fast-approaching, and medical device ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qrypt, a producer of cryptographic quantum security solutions enabled by Quantum Entropy available as a cloud service, today announced the launch of a new solution: Key ...
