Cryptography is one area of information security that is well known but often not well understood. The basics of the algorithms may stay the same, but as attacks and infections evolve, so too must the ...

Another type of algorithm—an asymmetric-key algorithm—uses two keys: a public key that may be known by anyone, and a private key that is known by only one party and must be kept secret. Asymmetric-key ...

Before delving into which key exchange algorithm is more secure or "better," let me start by explaining the differences between the Diffie-Hellman vs. RSA algorithms. Diffie-Hellman is a key exchange ...
