Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data.

The RSA algorithm is a feast of genius that combines theoretical math and practical coding into working asymmetric cryptography. Here’s how it works.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption technique disguises electronic information using an authorized (FIPS PUB 197) 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit symmetric encryption algorithm. Hackers and ...

Symmetric-key encryption is what people usually think of as encryption. It allows data and messages to be scrambled using a “key” so they are indecipherable to anyone without the key.

Recognizing the strengths of both methods, most real-world applications now use hybrid encryption. Here, a fast symmetric key encrypts the actual data, and an asymmetric algorithm secures that key.

LUKS encrypts the entire filesystem, including file names, directory structures, and file contents, using a symmetric encryption algorithm. The Invisible Shield: An Introduction to eCryptfs eCryptfs ...
