Encryption is a key technology for federal agencies. Although encryption is the primary goal, many encryption systems depend on a combination of tools to accomplish other tasks. Public-key ...

A private key, also known as a secret key, is a cryptographic key that is used to decrypt or digitally sign data. It is a crucial component in asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC ...

In 2015, The NSA’s Information Assurance Directorate issued guidance to postpone moving from RSA cryptography to elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) if they hadn’t already done so. The guidance stated: ...

No one knows when, but crypto-menacing quantum machines are coming. Here's how researchers use quantum mechanics to crack large integers in asymmetric cryptography. Quantum computing continues to ...

Current data encryption techniques may fend off the threat of quantum computing for some time to come, security experts say. In recent years the computational potential of qubits has led many to ...

Castle Shield has integrated two of the NIST Round 3 finalists PQC asymmetric encryption. NIST will select a small subset of these algorithms that will form the core of the first post-quantum ...

The most common asymmetric encryption algorithm is RSA. Symmetric encryption (or pre-shared key encryption) uses a single key to both encrypt and decrypt data. Both the sender and the receiver need ...

In today's interconnected world, data is more than just a resource — it's the foundation of modern business and society. And as its value has increased, so too have the efforts to compromise it. From ...
