Advanced Encryption Standard

The last cipher I'm going to talk about is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). With this, we'll have covered about half of the important algorithms needed for a transport security implementation, such as SSL. AES started out as a contest to replace

More Symmetric Cipher Suites

Block ciphers are more popular than stream ciphers , with several either in active use or recent enough to require supporting for legacy interoperability. I'll talk about the RC2 and DES algorithms today and cover the newer AES algorithm tomorrow. DES

Symmetric Cipher Suites

The list of commonly used stream ciphers is very short because there's really only one. RC4, developed by Ron Rivest, is essentially the only stream cipher that has been widely deployed. RC4 is very fast and found in wireless networking devices, as part
