[Part 1 of this article begins with a review of various application security level categories and a look at hash algorithms as a basic level of security. Part 2 covers the basics for optimizing ...

The DES algorithm was (officially) developed by IBM after NBS solicited proposals for its encryption standard. At the time, there was concern over certain aspects of the algorithm's design.

Chapter 3 of the Cryptographic Handbook delves into how modern cryptographic algorithms are implemented.

In July, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies selected four cryptography algorithms as national standards for public key security in order to prepare for an era of quantum computers, ...
