In your position as the CISO, it is your responsibility to regulate and to ensure the security of the encryption environment within your organization. Since new threats arise day by day and most of our communication and transactions are done online, it is high time you do something in order to safeguard your encrypted dataContinue reading “A CISO’s Guide to Securing Encryption Environment”

What is RSA? How does an RSA work?
Introduction The Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption algorithm is an asymmetric encryption algorithm that is widely used in many products and services. Asymmetric encryption uses a key pair that is mathematically linked to encrypt and decrypt data. A private and public key are created, with the public key being accessible to anyone and the private key being a secret known only by the key pairContinue reading “What is RSA? How does an RSA work?”
Secure Your Organization’s Data With These Encryption Algorithms
Encryption and Decryption are the two most essential steps for successful communication. To transmit sensitive or confidential information, secrecy and privacy should be assured by a system. Before diving into Encryption and Decryption, let’s first learn about Cryptography.
Everything you need to know about RSASSA-PSS
Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) is an asymmetric algorithm which can be used for encrypting and signing data.
Everything You Need To Know About Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Vs. RSA
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.
Is Your PKI Healthy?
In this discussion, we are trying to understand a few of the following questions: What is PKI? What are several components involved in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)? Most importantly, what are the key factors that can be leveraged to perform a PKI health check?
What is the difference between Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption? Which is better for data security?
Companies in every sector must comply with standards and regulations, and one of the best ways to do this is to utilize encryption. Encryption takes data that can be clearly read, also known as plaintext, and runs it through an encryption algorithm, such as symmetric key encryption or asymmetric encryption, depending on the security needs. An encryption algorithmContinue reading “What is the difference between Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption? Which is better for data security?”
What is the difference between Encryption and Signing? Why should you use digital signatures?
Introduction Threats loom ever present in our digital world, which is why methods of securing data are constantly advancing. Tactics like encryption are used every day on sensitive data-at-rest or in-motion. Encryption is the process of putting data in the form of plaintext into an encryption algorithm, and producing a ciphertext. Ciphertext is a form of data where all the patternsContinue reading “What is the difference between Encryption and Signing? Why should you use digital signatures?”
What is the difference between Encryption and Compression? What order should they be done in?
Introduction The Digital Age we live in requires more and more data to be sent at one time, but this can quickly become an issue for the hardware sending the data. If too much data is sent across a connection, it could take hours or days to transfer, when the recipient needs it in minutes.Continue reading “What is the difference between Encryption and Compression?
