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 ...

Recent advancements in cryptographic research underpin the evolution of secure digital communication systems. Cryptographic algorithms form the backbone of information security, defending data ...

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 this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

In July, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies selected four cryptography algorithms as national standards for public key security in order to prepare for an era of quantum computers, ...

Cryptography can mean either the analysis or the deciphering of codes, ciphers and cryptograms. Also known as: cryptanalysis, cryptanalytics, cryptology. First Seen1900 B.C. Cryptography is a method ...

SP 800-133 is primarily a high-level document that refers readers to other documents that contain details on generating the various types of keys. However, it does offer specific details for one type ...

Agencies should test post-quantum cryptography algorithms with their software and decide whether information security benefits outweigh the efficiency losses ahead of a federally mandated transition, ...

The path to a secure future in a world with quantum computers just became a bit clearer. This week, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the algorithms that were ...

Quantum computers could -- theoretically -- solve problems that traditional digital computers find impossible to handle. That means they could create an enormous security headache if they are used to ...
