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 data ...

Ofer A. Lidsky is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience and is the founder and CEO of Excellent Brain. In today’s digital age, data encryption is vital for protecting sensitive information.

In this paper, the authors present a peer analysis in the field of encryption algorithms, in concentrating on private key block ciphers which are generally used for bulk data and link encryption. They ...

The key used for these kinds of symmetric encryption is called as File Encryption Key (or FEK). This FEK is in return encrypted with a public or a private key algorithm like RSA and stored with the ...

Information is wealth, and an important way to protect it is encryption. End-to-end (E2E) encryption in particular protects information in a way that has transformed human rights organisations’, ...

A known-plaintext attack (KPA) occurs when a hacker uses pairs of both encrypted and unencrypted data to figure out the encryption algorithm or key. In this attack, the hacker has access to both the ...

The developers behind the Tor network have announced a major upcoming change. The free overlay network, which enables anonymous communication on the web, will soon adopt ...
