News & Events

AES

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) will be a new Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication that will specify a cryptographic algorithm for use by U.S. Government organizations to protect sensitive (unclassified) information. NIST also anticipates that the AES will be widely used on a voluntary basis by organizations, institutions, and individuals outside of the U.S. Government - and outside of the United States - in some cases. NIST has selected Rijndael as the proposed AES algorithm.

DES, Triple-DES

Data Encryption Standard; Triple-DES is stronger.

Hifn to Address Encryption and Key Management in ILM

Encryption

A technique for encoding data so that it is not legible by anyone except the intended recipient.

IKE

Internet Key Encryption - protocol for key generation and management.

PK

Public Key - a very secure means to encrypt data. Very computations burdensome, so typically systems use PK to transmit the SK, and use SK for the bulk of the data encryption. See RSA.
