File encryption in Python: An in-depth exploration of symmetric and asymmetric techniques
In our modern world, we constantly share private, confidential, and sensitive information over digital channels. A fundamental component of this communication is file encryption — transforming data into an unreadable format using encryption algorithms.
Importance of Encryption in Messaging Apps
It's almost impossible to imagine modern life without using messengers and other text apps. We have all become more or less dependent on convenient online communication. After all, it is also lightning-fast. We use messaging apps for work, and to communicate with friends and family. And also to share personal information. Yet, are we sure that our content actually remains private? What is clear is that as the volume of digital communication increases, so does the importance of ensuring the privacy and security of our content.
The Importance of SSL Certificate for an E-Commerce Website in 2024
With the advent of technological advancement and everyday upgrades, safety measures and security updates have become more than important. Imagine holding a savings account in a bank that explicitly declines to keep your money safe. Or sending sensitive information over a platform that has no end-to-end encryption. Or renting a property that has no lock. Sounds unsafe, right?
Securing symmetric encryption algorithms in Java
In our connected world, securing digital data has become an utmost priority. With the wide spread of Java applications in various sectors, from banking to healthcare, we must emphasize the importance of encryption. Encryption is converting readable data or plaintext into unreadable data or ciphertext, ensuring that even if encrypted data is intercepted, it remains inaccessible to unauthorized individuals.
What is FIPS 140-2? Cryptographic Module Validation Program
FIPS 140-2 is a federal information processing standard that manages security requirements for cryptographic modules. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published the security standard in November 2001 to develop coordinated requirements for hardware computer components. NIST replaced FIPS 140-2 with FIPS 140-3 in March 2019. This iteration introduced new critical security parameters for software and firmware and updated the four critical security levels that FIPS 140-2 introduced.
Signing container images: Comparing Sigstore, Notary, and Docker Content Trust
In the modern software ecosystem, containerization has become a popular method for packaging and deploying applications. Alongside this growing trend, ensuring the security of software supply chains has become a critical concern for businesses of all sizes. Implementing best practices, such as signing and verifying images to mitigate man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and validating their authenticity and freshness, play a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of the software supply chain.
The Quantum Threat: Options for Migrating to Quantum Safe Cryptography
What are my quantum options? And what has Goldilocks’ porridge got to do with it? You’ve heard that eventually you’ll need to migrate to quantum-safe cryptography. Perhaps you’re raring to go. And yet, here I am, ready to tell you one thing: don’t do anything yet. Your options really depend on your quantum problem, but if you’re looking to migrate your cryptography today, you’re moving way too soon.
The Best And Easiest Ways To Secure The Data In Your Company
The business world has changed drastically in the last 20 years. Almost all of the important data is now online. This can be pretty useful, but it can also be dangerous. Why? Well, as the business landscape changed, so did the business espionage. Malicious people online are trying their very best to steal sensitive and confidential data and sell it on the market.
Easily Enable Encryption: Secure Cloud-native Development Series
Build secure cloud-native applications by avoiding the top five security pitfalls we lay out in our Secure Cloud-native Development Series. This blog is the fourth part of the series, and it will teach you why and how to easily enable encryption and save yourself headaches down the road. Here's a new motto: encrypt everything! When securely moving to cloud-native technologies, building encryption in from the start will save us a lot of headaches later.
