Well, it looks like a group of people at Princeton University have found a way to do exactly this.  The fact that encrypted data can be stolen is not the thing that you should be worried about… it’s how easy it is to do that should have you concerned.  The only thing you need: a […]

Obviously, the goal of encryption is to keep a channel of communication private by preventing eavesdroppers from clearly understanding what is going on.  Granted, they will still be able to hear/read the communication, but it will be garbled to the point where it doesn’t make any sense.  So when a new encryption standard came out, […]

I thought this was a pretty interesting article to share, even though it is a Part 2 of a two part series.  This article really does a good job in breaking down how encrypted communication works from the aspect of public key infrastructure (PKI).  It actually reminded me of an encryption book I read a […]

In Sweden, the decision was made to protect their digital ballots with quantum cryptography. This is very interesting for a couple of reasons: first, quantum cryptography is known to be the strongest from of cryptography possible and second, seeing that it will be used for these ballots ensures that this level of encryption will […]

It appears there may be an encryption method that actually outperforms Quantum technology, which is supposed to be the bar-none best security solution for encryption. The entire process has to do with resistors. Unfortuately, since engineering is not my forte, it is a little over my head. Nonetheless, it is a very […]

Quantum Cryptography, which is a type of encryption that many thought would be uncrackable, has been hacked by a group of people at MIT. The good news is that the people who performed this hack said it was not good enough to work on a commercial network. The bad news is the fact […]

This is actually nothing new. Years ago, WEP encryption could be cracked in under 10 minutes. Of course, with the increasing speed and power of computer technology, it only makes sense that WEP encryption can be cracked in a shorter time now. Not only is WEP encryption extremely easy to break into, […]

Here’s an interesting dilemma: hackers taking advantage of an encryption bug to insert information that will be bypassed by email filters. This is exactly what can occur when it comes to GNU Privacy Guard. Through taking advantage of a bug through the signature, anyone can be able to insert text and the like […]

This was a nice article to read. Even though multi-factor authentication has been available for quite some time, more and more businesses and financial institutions are using it to protect their customers. Even though this won’t completely prevent theives from stealing identities, it is definitely a step in the right direction.

Cybercriminals are as […]

Intelligent Application Gateway 2007 is the name of it. Through using the VPN technologies of Whale Communications combined with Microsoft’s own Internet Security and Acceleration Server, Microsoft hopes that consumers will find this as a suitable product when it comes to communicating outside standard firewalls. But since its a Microsoft product, will it […]
