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 ...

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 ...

ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today the Accredited Standards Committee X9 Inc. (X9) announced the release of a new standard enhancing the security of symmetric key management used in retail ...

Asymmetric-key algorithms are generally slower than symmetric-key algorithms and are used in cases where only a single operation of the algorithm is required, such as the generation of a digital ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qrypt, a producer of cryptographic quantum security solutions enabled by Quantum Entropy available as a cloud service, today announced the launch of a new solution: Key ...
