The National Institute of Standards and Technology says the advent of massively parallel computing has rendered the Data Encryption Standard inadequate to protect federal government information.

Data Encryption Standard was designed in the early 1970s by IBM with input from NSA. It is OK, but a single key can be broken in three days by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a poorly funded ...

The top three credit reporting agencies in the US - Equifax, Experian and TransUnion - have agreed to adopt a single, shared encryption standard to better protect customer data. Predict 2025 Sign in ...

An acronym for Data Encryption Standard, DES was developed by IBM. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. DES is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks of 64 bits by using a ...

The advent of public key encryption in the 1970s was a major breakthrough because it allowed parties who had never met to securely trade encrypted material that couldn’t be broken by an adversary.

The Triple Data Encryption Standard, or Triple DES algorithm, evolved from the original DES algorithm introduced as a standard in 1976 (Reference 2, page 3). DES uses 56 bits of a 64-bit key to ...

Data encryption startup Vaultree Ltd. today closed on a $12.8 million early-stage round of funding that brings its total amount raised to $16 million.The Series A round was led by Molten Ventures ...

AES offers a more secure standard than the 56-bit DES algorithm, which was developed in the 1970s and has already been cracked. AES is considered even better than Triple DES, which is compatible ...

STMicroelectronics has announced a new single chip data encryption engine that it claims will 'dramatically' reduce the cost of protecting confidentiality and secret information store on pcs and ...
