To change the encryption algorithm that the ID Data Encrypt uses to encrypt/decrypt files, go to "options" button found on the main menu, and select the desired algorithm. You can also find more information about each of the algorithms provided by clicking on them in the list.

Previously, the best known encryption algorithm in the world was DES (Data Encryption Standard) developed by IBM where it was codenamed Lucifer. Many questions had been raised in the security communities over the continuing safety of that algorithm given the available computer power today to break that algorithm. There were already several algorithms available that were thought to be more resistant to attack than DES. These included CAST, RC2, RC4, Blowfish, Triple or 3-DES.

The 7800 uses an encryption key to determine whether or not the 7800 cartridge is valid and to allow the system to be put in 7800 mode as opposed to 2600 mode. The encryption algorithm is said to be proprietary. Rumors exist, however, that Atari released the algorithm for use on the the Atari ST series of computers. If anybody has this program we would all be very happy to have a look at it.

A conventional encryption algorithm is a function that maps an n-bit plaintext block to an n-bit ciphertext block where n is the blocksize. Typically, n is equal to 64 or 128-bits. The function takes a parameter, the "key" which specifies which mapping between the plaintext and ciphertext is used.

UWS supports DSS/Diffie-Hellman encryption. For more information on PGP and other Security issues visit our Security page at: http://www.uniquewebsites.com/support/index.htm

All data is stored in an encrypted password protected storage, strong AES 256bit algorithm is used for encryption. It means that nobody who does not know the password has any chance to access your sensitive information. You can read more about AES in Wikipedia, and one of the benefits of the AES algorithm is that it is widely used by different government and business organizations all over the world.

Providing encrypted information online is safer than providing the same information over the phone, or using your credit card at your favorite restaurant.

Encryption garbles your data by using irreversible mathematical functions. It is simply the encoding of data so that it cannot be read by anyone who does not know the password that decodes it.

AVIA! supports RSA encryption. PGP version 5.0 should visit the PGP(tm)FAQ page. We do not currently support DSS/Diffie-Hellman encryption keys. For more information on PGP and other Security issues visit our Security page.

Zendit follows OpenPGP standards with some deviations for compatibility with existing PGP systems. Refer to the Zendit web site at http://www.authora.com/PGPUser for details on the technical specifications. Currently, for your web based e-mail, we support only Internet Explorer v4.01 and above. As we add support for other browsers, registered users will be informed so they can obtain the latest version of the Surfboard. Updated information can always be obtained at http://www.authora.com.

IMRF Employer Access requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption in order to secure the data being transmitted. If you receive this error, you are using an older browser. You should upgrade to a newer version of your browser software.

Looking at the algorithm would not help in decrypting a SECURE-encrypted file for the reason stated in this FAQ. The program is only as good as the password. The user's password is not stored in the encrypted file or on the user's disk. Therefore, if the person using SECURE forgets his or her password, even the author of the SECURE program would have no way of recovering the original file.

Use algorithms comparison table to choose the algorithm. We recommend to use Blowfish, RC2, Rijndael or Cast-128. As for the cipher mode, we suggest CBC mode, as it produces cipher text dependent on all previous blocks, which outcrosses the possibility to perform a smart bruteforce attack.

This depends on the server software and browsers used. Modern browsers and servers (from 2000 onwards) encipher the data with 128-bit, thus guaranteeing a very high degree of protection. When you are purchasing a SSL certificate, make sure it is suitable for this 128-bit encryption. This way, you provide visitors to your website with optimum protection.

Bulk encryption of data. Session keys are encrypted with the public key algorithm, and then the bulk of data is encrypted with a conventional block cipher. This is done for reasons of security and speed. Encrypting the keys stored in the private keyring. This keyring holds the private decryption key(s) and it is imperative that this file is encrypted in a "secure" manner. It is interesting to note that the whole of private keyring is not encrypted - but only the actual private key data.
