Standards and cryptographic software and hardware to perform encryption are widely available, but successfully using encryption to ensure security may be a challenging problem.

These instructions will allow the processor to perform hardware-accelerated encryption, not only resulting in faster execution but also protecting against software targeted attacks.

STEVE: So because you've essentially - you've gotten the access point to perform encryption for you on a known packet.

Identifying the functional boundary according to the category of utility functions e.g. a utility service that performs encryption and decryption of messages.

An algorithm for performing encryption, including:

Linoma Software also performs encryption of data at rest on the IBM i (iSeries) platform with its Crypto Complete product.

But it's really not necessary to get into the minutiae of the details of how they perform encryption.

We know that it's actually not very easy to perform really good encryption against man-in-the-middle attacks.

DiskCrypt takes a similar approach, providing firmware within the enclosure that performs pass-through encryption and decryption.

Some are no longer relevant given the ability of computers to perform complex encryption, but his second axiom, now known as Kerckhoffs's principle, is still critically important.
