Types of Encryption, Methods & Use Cases

eSecurity Planet

Encryption scrambles data to make it unreadable to those without decryption keys. Proper use of encryption preserves secrecy and radically lowers the potential damage of a successful cybersecurity attack. Encryption algorithm types will provide an overview of the mathematical algorithms used to encrypt data (AES, RSA, etc.),

Use cases of secure IoT deployment

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

In our previous blog post , we discussed the challenges for securing IoT deployments, and how businesses and consumers benefit from authenticating and validating IoT software and firmware updates. Requirements also included that the firmware was to be signed by the manufacturer and verified by the pacemaker.

How to Secure DNS

eSecurity Planet

This attack relies on a client-server architecture and consists of using other protocols such as TCP or SSH to tunnel malware through DNS requests. DNS Encryption: DoH vs. DoT. To combat DNS attacks, major companies such as Google have pushed forward DNS encryption over TLS (DoT) or HTTPS (DoH). DNS tunneling.

Guest Blog: TalkingTrust. What’s driving the security of IoT?

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

The same rings true for encryption and authentication. Asymmetric encryption may require too much processing power for certain devices, making symmetric keys the only option. Over-the-air (OTA) software and firmware updates must be delivered securely and effectively. weak cryptography, software bugs, malware, etc.).
