• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

The algorithms can be categorized in many different ways, but perhaps the most fundamental is the distinction between symmetric and asymmetric encryption. Before 1973, every known encryption ...

RSA and other encryption algorithms have been in use for decades with no known ways for them to be broken. Over the years, that track record has led to confidence that they are safe for use.

A popular asymmetric encryption algorithm invented by Taher El Gamal in 1985. Named after its author and based on discrete logarithms, El Gamal is used for encryption and digital signatures. See ...
