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 ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...

Current data encryption techniques may fend off the threat of quantum computing for some time to come, security experts say. In recent years the computational potential of qubits has led many to ...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data. It is a cryptographic standard, which was established by the US National ...

If you and I were to meet with no possibility of being overheard, we could agree upon the secret encryption key we would use in our public communications. One of the NIST-recognized encryption schemes ...

Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...

SCOTTSVILLE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Castle Shield Holdings, LLC., today released the first version of its Hermes secure email encryption add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook. Hermes uses strong elliptic ...
