10 pioneering women in information security
As Women's History Month comes to close, we introduce you (hopefully not for the first time) to some women who broke new ground in infosec, national security, and computer science.
DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS explained: Encrypting DNS traffic
DoT and DoH provide data confidentiality with end-to-end encryption for DNS traffic, but each has trade-offs.
Intel, Microsoft join DARPA effort to accelerate fully homomorphic encryption
The partnership aims to improve performance and accuracy of FHE to make it practical for business and government to better protect confidential data in the cloud.
3 top enterprise file encryption programs compared
Any of these encryption apps can safeguard a file’s contents, but differ in terms of supported platforms, remote capabilities, and features.
Hashing explained: Why it's your best bet to protect stored passwords
Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.
Differential privacy: Pros and cons of enterprise use cases
Hiding sensitive data in a sea of noise might have more value than encryption in some use cases. Here are the most likely differential privacy applications and their trade-offs.
8 video chat apps compared: Which is best for security?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Duo, Cisco Webex, FaceTime, Jitsi, Signal and WhatsApp. What does their encryption look like? What are the trade-offs?
What is cryptography? How algorithms keep information secret and safe
Cryptography is the science of keeping information secret and safe by transforming it into form that unintended recipients cannot understand. It makes secure data transmission over the internet possible.
Homomorphic encryption tools find their niche
Current homomorphic encryption offerings require fewer specialized skills and are proving themselves effective in some use cases.
Confidential Computing: What is it and why do you need it?
Confidential Computing can significantly enhance enterprise security, but what is it, and what do you need to do about it?
4 hot areas for encryption innovation
Researchers are making progress on a variety of approaches to strengthen encryption techniques and algorithms. Here are some of the hottest areas in cryptographic research.
Is everything you thought you'd done right for security about to be at risk?
It may still be early days for quantum computing, but there has been significant progress recently. But what does that mean for today’s 'unbreakable' encrypted data?
Homomorphic encryption: Deriving analytics and insights from encrypted data
Homomorphic encryption allows safe outsourcing of storage of computation on sensitive data to the cloud, but there are trade-offs with performance, protection and utility.
IBM, Intel, AMD take different routes to hardware-based encryption
So-called confidential computing approaches allow data to remain encrypted while in use. That's best done in hardware, and IBM, AMD and Intel are following different paths, each with its own trade-offs.
Mathematical Mesh alpha release promises better end-to-end encryption
Web pioneer proposes a new cryptographic system that relies on threshold key infrastructure to improve end-to-end encryption.
DNSSEC explained: Why you might want to implement it on your domain
The Domain Name System Security Extensions provide cryptographic authentication to prevent redirection to rogue websites, but owners of many domains have yet to adopt it.
Google Cloud steps up security and compliance for applications, government
New Google Cloud offerings Confidential VMs and Assured Workloads for Government provide in-process data encryption and the ability to restrict storage locations, respectively.
New Republican bill latest in long line to force encryption backdoors
Here we go again. Senate Republicans push a new bill to mandate "lawful access" to encrypted devices and data. It won't end until law enforcement has better cyber forensics capabilities.
