Keyczar, a Reliable Open Source Cryptography Tool
	A Google-MIT team has just launched an open source encryption toolkit that can be used with both symmetric and asymmetric keys. In the first case, the same key helps both the encryption and decryption of a program. In order to decrypt the message, programmers must know what the secret key is. Decryption is usually made by a different user than the one who encrypts a program, so sharing the secret key must be made perfectly secure. Asymmetr ... [read more >>]

The Beginning of the End for Code Breakers
	We could say that code breakers saved a lot of lives during World War II by cracking the code of the German military Enigma machine. However, with the arrival of the personal computer and the invention of the Internet, code breaking became mostly a headache as it is mostly used by malevolent individuals in order to steal information. Quantum cryptography promises to solve most of these problems by creating an information encoding process t ... [read more >>]

Bull Gets Cryptic With Its USB-Based Bootable Hard-Disk
	Bull has just introduced a new security application aimed at business and enterprise users who work with sensitive information. The company's new addition is a pocketable, bootable hard-disk drive, that features multiple layers of protection, including password protection and a built-in cryptographic processor. The new drive is called Globull and comes in a miniature form-factor with a bright-red casing. The hard-disk enc ... [read more >>]

Quantum Keys Set Long-Distance Record
	Quantum keys are the latest development in encryption technology. Quantum cryptography uses quantum mechanics for secure communications. Unlike traditional cryptography – which depends on the computational complexity of mathematical techniques to restrict the possibility that eavesdroppers might learn the contents of encrypted messages – quantum cryptography depends on the fact that naive attempts to read quantum information will destroy ...
