It was well before 2001, when we created the Workshop on Economics and Information Security. I know I was at the Fast Software Encryption workshop in December 1993, another conference he created. There I presented the Blowfish encryption algorithm. I can’t remember when I first met Ross.

NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards

Schneier on Security

AUGUST 8, 2022

The idea is to standardize on both a public-key encryption and digital signature algorithm that is resistant to quantum computing, well before anyone builds a useful quantum computer. NIST is an old hand at this competitive process, having previously done this with symmetric algorithms (AES in 2001) and hash functions (SHA-3 in 2015).

Encryption and the development of cryptography have been a cornerstone of IT security for decades and remain critical for data protection against evolving threats. While cryptology is thousands of years old, modern cryptography took off in the 1970s with the help of the Diffie-Hellman-Merkle and RSA encryption algorithms.

Calculating the Benefits of the Advanced Encryption Standard

Schneier on Security

OCTOBER 22, 2019

NIST has completed a study -- it was published last year, but I just saw it recently -- calculating the costs and benefits of the Advanced Encryption Standard. And I certainly agree that the benefits of a standardized encryption algorithm that we all trust and use outweigh the cost by orders of magnitude.

What is encryption? And why it matters in a VPN

Malwarebytes

MAY 26, 2021

Encryption is a term used to describe the methods that hide the true meaning of messages using code, especially to prevent unauthorized access to the information in the messages. Not all users of virtual private networks (VPN) care about encryption, but many are interested and benefit from strong end-to-end encryption.

Different protocols create different ways that connect your device and the internet through encrypted tunnels. The protocol relies on encryption, authentication and peer-to-peer protocol (PPP) negotiation. However, the speed comes at the cost of encryption. Of all the protocols, PPTP has the lowest level of encryption.

Encryption-in-use, a.k.a. data-in-use encryption, is changing the data protection landscape and could spark a cybersecurity movement that dwarfs tokenization in both usage and magnitude of impact. Tokenization was invented a little over twenty years ago in 2001 to address the risk of losing cardholder data from eCommerce platforms.

Plus, long-lived certs actually create other risks due to the fact that revocation is broken so iterating quickly (for example, Let's Encrypt certs last for 3 months) is a virtue. Too long ago?
