The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...

The Cipher class, central to the javax.crypto package, abstracts encryption/decryption through a provider-based architecture that delegates to pluggable CipherSpi implementations for ...

About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...

Krishi specializes in making complex tech topics, like VPNs, cybersecurity, and online privacy, clear and accessible. With 5+ years of writing experience, his work appears in outlets such as TechRadar ...

TL;DR: Although often labeled a "dark web" associated with criminal activity and illicit marketplaces, Tor is an invaluable tool for protecting online privacy. Developers are now working to make the ...

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

RFC 8221: Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation Requirements and Usage Guidance for Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and Authentication Header (AH) RFC 8247: Algorithm Implementation Requirements ...

Trilium encrypts protected notes with AES-CBC-128. There is no reason for staying with AES-128 when AES-256 is more secure for minimal computation cost. Speaking of which, it would be much better to ...
