Sys Enc: What is it?

System encryption hides information on a computer using complex algorithms. Public and private key systems prevent interception by hackers. Windows has customizable encryption settings, including “FIPS compliant” for federal agencies. System encryption is the practice of using encryption to hide information on a computer. The level of sophistication of such encryption has increased over time, […]

Diff Enc: What is it?

Differential cryptanalysis is a known plaintext attack on block ciphers that uses two inputs with a constant difference to determine encryption key patterns. The method assigns probabilities to input-output pairs to guess the encryption key. It was developed in the late 1980s to attack DES, but designers work to ensure their code is not vulnerable […]
