Apple’s built-in FileVault disk encryption on macOS is an effective way to do this. But what exactly is FileVault, how does it work, and how can you enable it on your Mac? Let’s take a look.

Turing’s work in cracking Enigma was a massive leap forward in both cryptanalysis and the development of modern computing. It also showed that no encryption system is foolproof; given enough time and ...

Backing up data is essential, but encrypting your files prevents unauthorized access. Encryption converts your files into unreadable data, ensuring that even if your backup is compromised, your ...

Then there are certain virus / malware strains that use encryption to get into a network and only decrypt themselves when inside the network. This makes me think is encryption a double-edged sword?

Insert this hash into the top of the file before encryption. Upon decryption, remove a chunk of data that should be the hash. Hash the decrypted file. Compare the generated hash to the extracted hash.

Asymmetric encryption (public-key algorithms) involves a key pair: a public key for encryption or signature verification and a private key for decryption or signing.

Macronix’s ArmorBoot NOR flash delivers secure boot and encryption support to designs with MCUs and MPUs that lack these ...
