Cryptographic Techniques Understanding SSL requires an understanding of cryptographic algorithms, message digest functions (aka. one-way or hash functions), and digital signatures.

However, WEP's glaring weaknesses are not characteristic of any properly implemented symmetric encryption algorithms used in SSL or VPN implementations.

Google announces new algorithm that makes FIDO encryption safe from quantum computers New approach combines ECDSA with post-quantum algorithm called Dilithium.

We explain What is Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) and the main differences between these two technologies.

The research is significant because there are at least six CAs currently using the weak MD5 cryptographic algorithm in digital signatures and certificates.

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that could allow an attacker to listen in.

More and more websites are looking to enable SSL encryption to protect their visitors from eavesdroppers and hackers. Now web infrastructure company CloudFlare will make it a bit easier by adding ...
