  2. Kyber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyber

    Kyber is a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) designed to be resistant to cryptanalytic attacks with future powerful quantum computers.It is used to establish a shared secret between two communicating parties without an attacker in the transmission system being able to decrypt it.

  3. File locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking

    For example, a lock file might govern access to a set of related resources, such as several different files, directories, a group of disk partitions, or selected access to higher level protocols like servers or database connections. When using lock files, care must be taken to ensure that operations are atomic. To obtain a lock, the process ...

  4. Indistinguishability obfuscation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indistinguishability...

    In 2001, Barak et al., showing that black-box obfuscation is impossible, also proposed the idea of an indistinguishability obfuscator, and constructed an inefficient one. [8] [7] [2] Although this notion seemed relatively weak, Goldwasser and Rothblum (2007) showed that an efficient indistinguishability obfuscator would be a best-possible obfuscator, and any best-possible obfuscator would be ...

  5. Deniable encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniable_encryption

    One example of deniable encryption is a cryptographic filesystem that employs a concept of abstract "layers", where each layer can be decrypted with a different encryption key. [ citation needed ] Additionally, special " chaff layers" are filled with random data in order to have plausible deniability of the existence of real layers and their ...

  6. How AOL uses SSL to protect your account

    Encryption scrambles and unscrambles your data to keep it protected. • A public key scrambles the data. • A private key unscrambles the data. Credit card security. When you make a purchase on AOL, we'll only finish the transaction if your browser supports SSL.

  7. dm-crypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-crypt

    The fact that disk encryption (volume encryption) software like dm-crypt only deals with transparent encryption of abstract block devices gives it a lot of flexibility. This means that it can be used for encrypting any disk-backed file systems supported by the operating system , as well as swap space ; write barriers implemented by file systems ...

  8. Block cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher

    In some situations, however, one may wish to have a block cipher that works over some other alphabet; for example, encrypting 16-digit credit card numbers in such a way that the ciphertext is also a 16-digit number might facilitate adding an encryption layer to legacy software. This is an example of format-preserving encryption.

  9. AES instruction set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set

    An AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instruction set is a set of instructions that are specifically designed to perform AES encryption and decryption operations efficiently. These instructions are typically found in modern processors and can greatly accelerate AES operations compared to software implementations.
