Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data.

History has shown that it is always necessary for security to evolve to meet the demands of new technology. Moore's Law may work wonders for computing horsepower, but it creates nightmares for ...

Researchers have found a weakness in the AES algorithm used worldwide to protect internet banking, wireless communications, and data on hard disks. They managed to come up with a clever new attack ...

The government finally did something right. That seemed to be the common theme at the RSA Data Security Conference on Monday afternoon with encryption experts praising the US government's selection of ...

However, NIST encouraged agencies to implement the stronger and faster Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm instead.

Charanjit Jutla, a researcher at IBM, apparently invented an algorithm capable of performing both encryption and authentication functions in one, simultaneous step. IBM says the technology takes ...
