Keeper’s Enterprise Password Manager is the only solution that uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in its encryption, making it the most secure password management solution available. ECC is a public-key cryptography method based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. First proposed in 1985, it recently rose to prominence with modern cryptography as it provides a higher level of security compared to traditional encryption methods, such as RSA.

Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES) is a symmetric block cipher-based cryptography standard that uses fixed length keys with three passes of the DES algorithm. As a symmetric cryptographic scheme, DES implementations rely on the same secret keys shared between the sender and the recipient. As we’ll see later, Triple DES was developed as a way to prevent man in the middle attacks. Let’s take a look at Triple DES — and we’ll start first with DES.

The mathematical properties and concepts of elliptic curves are used in asymmetric key exchange cryptography schemes. Common applications include: In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into elliptic curve cryptography. We aim to take a digestible, slightly less academic look that still thoroughly explains this technical topic. For something a little lighter, explore our introduction to cryptography.

Encryption technology is vital to securely sharing information over the internet. An estimated 1.145 trillion MB of data is created every day, and encryption prevents sensitive information from being intercepted, read or altered by the wrong recipients. Not sure what encryption is or how it works? Keep reading to learn more about data encryption, its purpose and benefits.

Cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. With the rise of cybercrime in recent years, it’s more important than ever to ensure that sensitive data is kept safe and secure. That’s where encryption comes in. Encryption is the process of encoding data so that only authorized users can access it. There are two main types of encryption: symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

Listed as #2 on the OWASP Top 10 list, cryptographic failures expose sensitive data due to a lack of or weak encryption. Many of the web and mobile applications you use daily require you to input sensitive information. Cryptography offers tools that can be used to safeguard sensitive data and securely transfer it across the internet. Cryptography is powerful but it must be used properly to be effective.

Cryptography is fundamental to many information security and privacy mechanisms. Today, a variety of cryptographic algorithms are used in many different applications. This article explains cryptography: how it works, key principles or operations of cryptography, types of cryptography, use cases and more! (This article was written by Shanika Wickramasinghe.

Encryption means converting data (in the form of plain text) into a code that is unreadable by humans to prevent unauthorized access. There are many types of encryption, and they include encryption in transit, encryption at rest, and end-to-end encryption. Among them, end-to-end encryption is probably the best for communication services.

In the first two blogs in this series, we discussed properly setting up IAM and avoiding direct internet access to AWS resources. In this blog, we’ll tackle encrypting AWS in transit and at rest.
