• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

AES-256 encryption takes a file or stream of data that you want to encrypt and transforms it using a “key,” so that the data you end up with is completely unreadable and totally different from ...

Proven hash algorithms like SHA-2, SHA-3, SM3, or (AES-)GHASH can be used for integrity protection purpose. Once one or more of the cipher algorithms are selected, the choice of secure modes of ...

In September 1997, the NIST issued a request for possiblecandidates for a new AES to replace the DES. In August 1998, NISTselected 15 candidate algorithms and in August 1999, announced fivefinalists: ...

ASC X9 has released a new standard, X9.24-3, that allows the use of the AES DUKPT algorithm to enhance security in retail financial transactions.

Other topics, though, don’t see nearly the same level of high-profile debate. Take the invulnerability of AES (the Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, for example.
