Diffie-Hellman (DH), also known as an exponential key exchange, was published in 1976. DH key exchange is a key exchange protocol that allows the sender and receiver to communicate over a public channel to establish a mutual secret without being transmitted over the internet.

HTTPS stripping attack poses a risk to HTTPS. When users type a domain name without protocol type (HTTP or HTTPS), the default request type is HTTP rather than HTTPS. Usually, if the server provides HTTPS service, the server will give a 302 redirection after receiving an HTTP request. However, the attacker can intercept the traffic through ARP spoofing and replace all HTTPS with HTTP in the response packet. Thus, the browser will still request an HTTP website regardless of the 302 redirections.

Payment Gateway and Payment Processor are two critical links in the payment processing chain. As a business owner, you have probably heard these terms and wondered what the difference is. In short, although the two phrases seem synonymous; they are not. In fact, Payment Gateway and Payment Processor are two entirely different things.

What is the difference between a Payment Gateway and a Payment Processor?

Encryption is used every day to secure online communications between two individuals or between clients and servers. Though you may not see it in action, encryption obscures your data-at-rest and data-in-transit from outside attackers who are potentially monitoring your communications. Encryption works by taking in plaintext data, or data that is unobscured, and turning that plaintext into ciphertext.

What are Encryption Protocols and How Do They Work?

AWS CloudHSM provides single-tenant key storage giving organizations FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliance. CloudHSM allows full control of your keys, including Symmetric (AES), Asymmetric (RSA), SHA-256, SHA 512, Hash-Based, or Digital Signatures (RSA). On the other hand, AWS Key Management Service is multi-tenant key storage owned and managed by AWS. AWS KMS allows Customer Master Keys for symmetric key encryption (AES-256-XTS) and asymmetric keys (RSA or elliptic curve (ECC))

How Secure Are Key Management Services of Amazon (AWS KMS)?

Asymmetric and symmetric encryptions are the types of encryptions used in cryptography. There is only one key involved in symmetric encryption, which is used for both encryption and decryption. The key has to be shared among the parties involved who wish to encrypt and decrypt data

Symmetric Vs. Asymmetric Encryption which is more Secure

In today’s world of wireless networks, we should configure our network security to the latest so that no one can penetrate our network. Users should use WPA3 to improve the authentication and encryption while making the connection easier. WPA3-SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) replaced the WPA2-PSK authentication process. WPA3-SAE uses a 128-bit encryption key and Forward secrecy protocol to resist offline dictionary attacks while improving key exchange security without any additional complexity. On the other hand, WPA2-Enterprise is replaced by WPA3-Enterprise, which uses a 192-bit encryption key and a 48-bit initialization vector as requested by sensitive organizations
