The internet is moving to default SSL/TLS-based encryption, and in most cases, it already has. And so have security threats, which leverage encryption technology to penetrate enterprise defenses.

We explain What is Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) and the main differences between these two technologies.

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...

It was partially mitigated by switching to different encryption algorithms (though those encryption algorithms have abundant security problems of their own) and some changes to SSL clients to ...

“Lucky Thirteen” attack snarfs cookies protected by SSL encryption Exploit is the latest to subvert crypto used to secure Web transactions.

- Japan's only 128-bit block cipher encryption algorithm to be adopted - The selection is attributed to Camellia's high reputation for ease of procurement, and security and performance features ...

Hackers are increasingly benefiting from poorly managed encryption technologies deployed by organizations, according to a new repor t from application networking and security firm A10 Networks in ...

"We're about to leave a whole chunk of the internet in the past," as millions of people remain dependent on old, insecure, but widely-used encryption.

The research is significant because there are at least six CAs currently using the weak MD5 cryptographic algorithm in digital signatures and certificates.

Once quantum computers become functional, experts warn, they could perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers—potentially enabling them to destroy the encryption that ...
