The Triple Data Encryption Standard, or Triple DES algorithm, evolved from the original DES algorithm introduced as a standard in 1976 (Reference 2, page 3). DES uses 56 bits of a 64-bit key to ...

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

The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. DES is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks of 64 bits. SAS Proprietary This provides basic fixed encoding encryption services on all ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics.

Triple DES executes DES three times on the data in order to exploit a key size that is three times that of DES. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. DES is a block cipher that ...

New algorithm shakes up cryptography Date: May 15, 2014 Source: CNRS Summary: Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails ...

Cryptographic algorithms can be roughly classified in two categories: Encryption algorithms transform an input file into an output file from which it is (quite) impossible to recover the original ...
