With the growing need for cryptography to protect digital assets and communications, the ever-present security holes in modern computer systems, and the growing sophistication of cyber attacks, it has never been more important or harder to keep your cryptographic keys safe and secure.
A single compromised key could result in a massive data breach, resulting in reputational damage, punitive regulatory fines, and a loss of investor and customer trust.
Part 2 – Accelerating Time-to-Market
With the increase in e-commerce and electronic communications on the one hand and the growing challenges of cybercrime and data protection regulation, on the other hand, cryptography is becoming an increasingly important business enabler.
Cryptomathic's Crypto Service Gateway (CSG) helps you realize business-agile and efficient crypto services, with central control of security policy and crypto hardware. In this article, we will look at some of the uses cases that address common cryptography headaches whilst generating a strong return on investment.
In this second installment of a three-part series on symmetric key encryption technology, we look at the evolution of symmetric key encryption algorithms, the variety of algorithms available today, their strengths and weaknesses, and the importance of crypto-agility.
In this final article in a 3-part series on symmetric key encryption technology, we look at the use of encryption modes with symmetric block ciphers, including the need for padding and initialization vectors.
In this article, the first of a 3-part series on symmetric key encryption technology, we will look at the principles of symmetric encryption, the two types of symmetric algorithm, and the lifecycle and management of symmetric keys.
This article explains the concept of meta-data in the context of cryptographic keys, explaining why it is used and the necessity to manage it well.
With increasingly tough security and privacy regulations, the use of cryptography is exploding in the modern enterprise. Hardware security modules (HSMs) provide the highest standard of security and compliance, but they are difficult to use and often deployed in silos, complicating compliance and hindering crypto-agility. As competitive pressures intensify, how can cryptography be turned into an enabler of business agility and digital transformation?
