Cryptographic Techniques Understanding SSL requires an understanding of cryptographic algorithms, message digest functions (aka. one-way or hash functions), and digital signatures.

However, WEP's glaring weaknesses are not characteristic of any properly implemented symmetric encryption algorithms used in SSL or VPN implementations.

We explain What is Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) and the main differences between these two technologies.

It was partially mitigated by switching to different encryption algorithms (though those encryption algorithms have abundant security problems of their own) and some changes to SSL clients to ...

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...
