Encryption is the process of converting readable data, known as plaintext, into a jumbled string of data called ciphertext. Encryption algorithms use mathematical operations to scrabble data, making ...

Cryptographer Horst Feistel ’37 spearheaded the work leading to encryption standards used during the 20th century. On March 17, 1975, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) published its proposed Data ...

The anticipated advent of quantum computing will have a devastating impact on existing modes of asymmetric data encryption. It’s likely that quantum-capable cyber-thieves, not to mention adversaries ...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data. It is a cryptographic standard, which was established by the US National ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on Tuesday released the final version of the first three cryptographic standards based on algorithms deemed capable of resisting attacks from ...

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, ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced the first series of quantum-resistant computer algorithms, a major development to secure digital information in a post-quantum world.
