Attackers are recording, and sometimes forging, vast volumes of human communication. Some of this communication is protected by cryptographic systems such as the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) system and ...

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 ...

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 ...

As technology progresses, the rise of quantum computing brings both exciting opportunities and serious challenges, particularly in the field of cybersecurity. Quantum computers have the potential 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 ...

How would you react if you knew that all your constituents' information is now readable and available to the highest bidder? Since the proliferation of the Internet and digitization of government ...

It takes an expert to determine whether a cryptographic system is truly secure, but CSOs can learn to spot red flags To determine if a cryptographic protocol or system is actually secure takes an ...

Quantum cryptography, also called quantum encryption, applies principles of quantum mechanics to encrypt messages in a way that it is never read by anyone outside of the intended recipient. It takes ...
