Quantum cyberattacks: Preparing your organization for the unknown
Quantum computing has been a buzzword for several years. And while it’s still the early days, several industries have been showing progress, and 2020 brought...
An Introduction to asymmetric vs symmetric cryptography
Most people are aware of the basic idea behind cryptography — hiding a message with a code that can only be decoded by your intended recipient. However, this...
Breaking Misused Stream Ciphers
Encryption algorithms can be classified in a couple of different ways. A top-level distinction is between symmetric encryption algorithms (which use the same...
Entropy Calculations
Entropy is a measure of the randomness in a system. The more random the system, the less predictable it is and the higher its entropy.
Entropy is useful...
Blockchain and Asymmetric Cryptography
Blockchain technology makes it possible to solve business problems in ways that were previously impossible. A major enabler of this is the decentralization...
Security of the PKI Ecosystem
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the backbone of trust for many systems on the Internet. One of the most common uses of PKI is the HTTPS protocol, which...
Elliptic Curve Cryptography
As its name suggests, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) uses elliptic curves (like the one shown above) to build cryptographic algorithms. Because of the...
