I feel I should start out by telling you about myself and my experience. I have been programming for 3+ years and I have many certifications including: C++, VB, Computer Repair and Win 95/98 ...

A rule to live by with sensitive data is that at some point, your server will be compromised. With that in mind, it’s a good idea to protect your data, and more importantly your customer’s data, from ...

The arena of creating secure environments in the hardware and software industries is somewhat shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding. Certainly, some types of ciphers are relatively straightforward ...

A team of researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology in China have developed a system by which invisible ink and a basic cipher can be combined with relatively simple AI to create an ...

Cryptography is one area of information security that is well known but often not well understood. The basics of the algorithms may stay the same, but as attacks and infections evolve, so too must the ...

Block ciphers are invertible symmetric key cryptographic algorithms. Here, symmetric means that the same cryptographic key is used to both encrypt and decrypt messages. The key is used to transform ...

It doesn’t take a very deep search through my article history to know that I’m a big security nut. I live and breathe it for much of my job, given the sensitive data that I work with. These habits ...

Covers the essentials involved with encryption. That was a simple example and as I said before you wouldn't use something like that to encrypt because it would be easy to figure out. All the cracker ...
