Encryption is the equivalent of a seat belt for data (Cryptography)
The ability to carry data when we’re going about our daily business, whether on portable hard drives, laptops, or USB sticks, has unarguably revolutionized working practices. No longer constrained by the physical boundaries of the office, people are free to work just about anywhere. However, there has been a price to pay. News reports on data leakage have become a regular feature and causes huge embarrassment to organizations, impacting their image and damaging the relationship with customers. So why is the lesson taking so long to learn?
Everything enterprises need to know about end-to-end encryption (Cryptography)
This article discusses the most effective ways to protect data according to its risk classification, with a focus on end-to-end encryption but also including Format Controlling Encryption, tokenization, database activity monitoring, transparent encryption and other technologies. It also provides tips for evaluating encryption and key management solutions, as well as points to consider to determine whether an enterprise's needs would best be met by an off-the-shelf or a custom "built on-site" data security management solution.
The Future of Encryption (Cryptography)
In today’s world the protection of sensitive data is one of the most critical concerns for organizations and their customers. This, coupled with growing regulatory pressures, is forcing businesses to protect the integrity, privacy and security of critical information. As a result cryptography is emerging as the foundation for enterprise data security and compliance, and quickly becoming the foundation of security best practice. Cryptography, once seen as a specialized, esoteric discipline of information security, is finally coming of age.
Key Management for Enterprise Data Encryption (Cryptography)
Best practices dictate that we must protect sensitive data at the point of capture, as it's transferred over the network (including internal networks) and when it is at rest. Protecting data only sometimes - such as sending sensitive information over wireless devices over the Internet or within your corporate network as clear text - defeats the point of encrypting information in the database.
Encryption - The Missing Defence Tool In Many Companies’ Security Policy (Cryptography)
There is a real threat to data security if tapes are not encrypted, no matter how high the level of physical security used when transporting tapes to a ‘secure’ area away from the primary business location for disaster recovery plans.
Securing Optical Networks With Quantum Cryptography (Cryptography)
As telecommunication links are intrinsically vulnerable to eavesdropping, cryptography is routinely used to protect data transmission. Quantum cryptography complements conventional cryptographic techniques to raise security of data transmission over optical fibre links to an unprecedented level.

Implementation of Chosen-Ciphertext Attacks against PGP and GnuPG (Cryptography)
PGP and other e-mail encryption protocols are, in theory, highly vulnerable to chosen-ciphertext attacks in which the recipient of the e-mail acts as an unwitting "decryption oracle".
