The Advance Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that provides a high level of confusion and diffusion, so it is considered, immune against many known mathematical analysis ...

You may have seen some VPN providers boasting about using AES-256 encryption, but it’s not immediately apparent what this means or how it helps keep your data safe. Essentially, VPNs use ...

Marriot revealed in a court case around a massive 2018 data breach that it had been using secure hash algorithm 1 and not the much more secure AES-1 encryption as it had earlier maintained.

Researchers at Fox-IT have developed a technique for cracking AES-256 encryption without the key and from up to a meter away.

However, the direction of travel means that AES-256 and other ‘military grade’ encryption algorithms are closer than ever before to being cracked.
