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 ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

Understand the crypto concepts behind the modern internet security infrastructure, from digital signatures and transport layer security to blockchains and Bitcoin. Cryptography grows ever more ...

Threats to computer and network security increase with each passing day and come from a growing number of sources. No computer or network is immune from attack. A recent concern is the susceptibility ...

How to perform over-the-air (OTA) updates safely. Best methods for encrypting communication on a host network. Secure key sharing and asymmetric cryptography. Implementation of authentication.

If you're shopping around for a VPN, you may have come across providers who tout "military grade encryption", but what does ...

I had this idea. Might be a good idea, might be a terrible idea. I'm no expert on security, but I wonder if any systems have ever done this? Typically, historically, authentication databases have ...

We present a general framework whereby analysis of interior-point algorithms for semidefinite programming can be extended verbatim to optimization problems over all classes of symmetric cones ...
