The Advance Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that provides a high level of confusion and diffusion, so it is considered, immune against many known mathematical analysis ...

You may have seen some VPN providers boasting about using AES-256 encryption, but it’s not immediately apparent what this means or how it helps keep your data safe. Essentially, VPNs use ...

If a “lightweight” algorithm is used, there are no guarantees the data will be protected from mathematic cryptanalysts given that the amount of data used in memory encryption is typically huge. Well ...

However, the direction of travel means that AES-256 and other ‘military grade’ encryption algorithms are closer than ever before to being cracked.

Researchers at Fox-IT have developed a technique for cracking AES-256 encryption without the key and from up to a meter away.

Marriot revealed in a court case around a massive 2018 data breach that it had been using secure hash algorithm 1 and not the much more secure AES-1 encryption as it had earlier maintained.
