It's the computational magic for scrambling data to keep it secret, and in the U.S., the best-known cryptographic algorithms go by names such as Triple-DES and AES. But in other countries, such as ...

It will also be clear what algorithms must be used to encrypt data (such as triple DES or AES), and how encryption keys should be managed.

The way Target deployed triple DES encryption for debit card PINs makes its statement about the unlikelihood that they were in danger much more believable.

Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

NIST is proposing that federal agencies only use DES as a component of the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), also known as “Triple DES.” However, NIST encouraged agencies to implement ...
