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 ...

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 wit… ...

SOCKET is completely extensible and can be utilized with any symmetric encryption algorithm, including legacy options such as (AES).

Public-key algorithms are important too. They help get around the fundamental drawback of symmetric-key encryption, which is that you need a secure way to share symmetric keys in the first place.

Data is encrypted when it is generated, and symmetric encryption algorithms such as AES are used to ensure data confidentiality in transit and at rest.

XSOC CORP today announces that its symmetric key exchange product, SOCKET, has received UL 2900-1 Certification. The rapid and secure “exchange” of sy ...

These cryptography algorithms are designed to protect ephemeral data transmitted between edge devices and sensors, not long-term secrets.

All three are symmetric encryption algorithms built on a SPN—short for substitution-permutation network structure.

The algorithms can be categorized in many different ways, but perhaps the most fundamental is the distinction between symmetric and asymmetric encryption.
