The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) realizes that DES may no longer be appropriate for some high-security applications. In response to this need for better cipher strength, NIST ...

AES Encryption stands for Advanced Encryption Standard (also known as Rijndael) and follows a symmetric encryption algorithm, i.e., the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data.

Researchers have found a weakness in the AES algorithm used worldwide to protect internet banking, wireless communications, and data on hard disks. They managed to come up with a clever new attack ...

ASC X9 has released a new standard, X9.24-3, that allows the use of the AES DUKPT algorithm to enhance security in retail financial transactions.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Commerce rolled out a new U.S. encryption standard for the federal government on Tuesday (Dec. 4) in hopes that industry will also embrace it. The Advanced Encryption ...

This paper proposes a high-throughput implementation of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) supporting encryption and decryption with 128-bit cipher key.

The crypto experts went so far as to give the NIST selection committee the annual RSA Public Policy award. Whitfield Diffie, who many consider the father of cryptography and who has an algorithm ...

Charanjit Jutla, a researcher at IBM, apparently invented an algorithm capable of performing both encryption and authentication functions in one, simultaneous step. IBM says the technology takes ...

The US Government's official encryption algorithm is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Bruce Schneier's Blowfish algorithm is popular with the security cognoscenti.
