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

This uses the SHA-3 symmetric-key algorithm, which is the latest in the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) family. Maxim Integrated is the first to have a SHA3-256 secure authentication device in production.

The public-key algorithm is used for distributing the key and the symmetric-key algorithm handles the bulk of the communications encryption. The astute reader may have noticed that the public-key ...

We present a general framework whereby analysis of interior-point algorithms for semidefinite programming can be extended verbatim to optimization problems over all classes of symmetric cones ...

Symmetric algorithms are fast and well-understood, and the good news is that symmetric cryptography is not severely threatened by quantum algorithms.

That’s why there is serious work underway to design new types of algorithms that are resistant to even the most powerful quantum computer we can imagine. What do these algorithms even do?

The RSA algorithm is a feast of genius that combines theoretical math and practical coding into working asymmetric cryptography. Here’s how it works.

MIT researchers designed a computationally efficient algorithm for machine learning with symmetric data that also requires fewer data for training than conventional approaches. Their work could ...
