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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The security of cryptographic applications critically relies on symmetric keys and private keys that are continually kept secret. The method used to ...

Learn how to protect the information handled by your .NET applications by encrypting and decrypting the data using either a single key or a public/private key pair. Encryption transforms data into a ...

Encryption, for security purposes, is also known as a cipher. It is a mathematical algorithm that hides information or makes it secret. Data that is not encrypted is called plain text, while encrypted ...

How does symmetric key encryption work with public-key encryption when securing a connection between browser and server? I know the Browser and server start off using asymmetric encryption then switch ...

In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...
