The Triple Data Encryption Standard, or Triple DES algorithm, evolved from the original DES algorithm introduced as a standard in 1976 (Reference 2, page 3). DES uses 56 bits of a 64-bit key to ...

Chapter 3 of the Cryptographic Handbook delves into how modern cryptographic algorithms are implemented.

On March 17, 1975, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) published its proposed Data Encryption Standard (DES) in the Federal Register. The algorithm used a 56-bit encryption key, which (it was ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics.

The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. DES is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks of 64 bits. SAS Proprietary This provides basic fixed encoding encryption services on all ...

Triple DES executes DES three times on the data in order to exploit a key size that is three times that of DES. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. DES is a block cipher that ...

In these post-quantum cryptography algorithms the keys are vectors, directions through the maze of a structured lattice.

New algorithm shakes up cryptography Date: May 15, 2014 Source: CNRS Summary: Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails ...
