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 ...

If a “lightweight” algorithm is used, there are no guarantees the data will be protected from mathematic cryptanalysts given that the amount of data used in memory encryption is typically huge. Well ...

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.

But what this Fox-IT technique achieves is very close to that ideal, offering the ability to crack even complex AES-256bit encryption in a few minutes with relatively cheap, off-the-shelf hardware.

In my blog “ The Methods of Memory Encryption to Protect Data in Use,” I discussed how the XTS/XEX mode of encryption was the appropriate choice for protecting data stored in and accessed from memory, ...
