A weakness in XML Encryption can be exploited to decrypt sensitive information, researchers say. XML Encryption is used for securing communications between Web services by many companies ...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is widely used to provide data security in storage, both "at rest" on a hard drive or tape and on the network. Addressing the market demand for integrated high-speed ...

The CENC Converter from castLabs unveiled at this year’s IBC is designed to enable content to be decrypted and re-encrypted from AES-CTR to AES-CBC-based schemes and from AES-CBC to AES-CTR schemes.

In this example, "enc" signals an encryption operation; "aes-256-cbc" flags the encryption method; "-in filename.txt" represents the text file created for encryption; and "-out filename.enc ...

Unlike traditional Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) modes, the Fast Cipher Block Chaining (FCBC) method, which is derived from CBC, reduces the encryption time per block by 15% to 25%.
