Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

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 ...

The federal government’s recent decision to adopt the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for securing sensitive information will trigger a move from the aging Data Encryption Standard (DES) in the ...

Encryption has become a routine part of everyday life. Your iPhone uses it to defeat cybercriminals and snoopers. Security cameras may use it to keep footage private. And your VPN definitely uses it, ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected a group of cryptographic algorithms to secure the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the related tiny sensors and actuators.
