Karsten Nohl, the founder of Berlin's Security Research Labs, has announced an exploit for SIM cards using the outdated 56-bit DES algorithm for its signature verification. The security researcher ...

Chapter 3 of the Cryptographic Handbook delves into how modern cryptographic algorithms are implemented.

The DES algorithm was (officially) developed by IBM after NBS solicited proposals for its encryption standard. At the time, there was concern over certain aspects of the algorithm's design.

[Part 1 of this article begins with a review of various application security level categories and a look at hash algorithms as a basic level of security. Part 2 covers the basics for optimizing ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics.
