Lightweight electronics, meet the heavyweight champion for protecting your information: Security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have announced a victor in their ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected a group of cryptographic algorithms to secure the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the related tiny sensors and actuators.

The US Department of Commerce's technical standards organization NIST has nominated the Ascon group of cryptographic algorithms for protecting small devices and information transmitted to and from IoT ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology says it will publish the Ascon group of algorithms in its lightweight cryptography standard later this year. NIST has found "a worthy defender" of ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the selection of a new family of cryptographic algorithms called ASCON, which have been developed for lightweight ...

NIST still recommends the AES technique for AEAD and SHA-256 for hashing; however, these are unsuitable for smaller, weaker devices. Despite ASCON's lightweight nature, NIST says the scheme is ...

New safety standards have been applied to the Internet of Things (IoT), covering the tens of billions of devices in the ecosystem that have appeared with the advent of 5G. Tools released this week by ...
