Security experts from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have declared Ascon - a group of cryptographic algorithms - as the best data protection for lightweight electronics in their program. This winning selection will be released as NIST's lightweight cryptography standard sometime in 2023.
On April 19, 2022, information about a severe vulnerability in recent versions of Java shook up the security community.
A well-rounded solution for securing digital transactions includes the use of both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography and keys.
