An encryption method that works with continuous streams of input rather than fixed blocks. Bytes of plaintext go into the stream cipher, and bytes of encrypted text come out the other end. RC4 is an ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

Last year, Microsoft announced end-of-support for the RC4 stream cipher in 2016 for its Edge browser, as well as Internet Explorer 11. Earlier this year, the company reiterated that it would soon ...

Such high-speed features of VSC come from full-scalable encryption algorithm as described as follows. VECTOR STREAM CIPHER AS FULL-SCALABLE CHAOTIC ENCRYPTION Our VSC is a kind of stream cipher. Thus, ...

Google has expanded its push into artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure by taking a 5.4% equity stake in Cipher Mining, one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in the United ...

Cryptography is something of a cryptic field, if you’ll forgive the pun. While one researcher erects the walls of a new technique, another tries to smash it to pieces. Seemingly counterintuitive, near ...

Quantum noise stream ciphers utilise the inherent randomness of quantum noise in optical systems to secure data transmission at the physical layer. By embedding cryptographic keys into fluctuations ...

A proprietary algorithm developed by RSA Data Security, Inc., RC2 is an alternative to DES. The algorithm expands a single message by up to 8 bytes. RC2 is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks ...

Scientists develop a chaos-based stream cipher that can withstand attacks from large-scale quantum computers. Fast algorithms on quantum computers could easily break many widely used cryptosystems, ...
