To understand what this proposal is, and why it is important, we need to dig a bit deeper into what a block cipher is, and the history of the AES algorithm.

Differing from known cryptosystems, the evolutionary cryptosystem features dynamically alterable and increasingly cryptographically strong encryption/decryption algorithms. Two papers showed that ...

The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. DES is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks of 64 bits. SAS Proprietary This provides basic fixed encoding encryption services on all ...

- 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 ...

Block ciphers are a common cryptographic tool used in many existing algorithms, including the US government encryption standard DES—a variant of which has been used to serve secure web pages ...

The National Security Agency (NSA) is offering two families of encryption algorithms, known as block ciphers, intended to provide a level of security for such processes as authentication or ...

This publication specifies the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), including its primary component cryptographic engine, the Data Encryption Algorithm (DEA). When implemented in an SP ...

Why is NTLM a concern? Generally speaking, the older a protocol is the more likely it is to depend on older ciphers. NTML v1 uses the DES block cipher algorithm using an MD4 hash.
