What is Twofish? Is Twofish secure? | Encryption Consulting
Twofish is the successor to Blowfish and was a finalist in the National Institute of Technology and Science's (NIST's) search for an algorithm to replace DES.| Encryption Consulting
This is an article in a series on Cryptography for the Everyday Developer. Follow along to learn the basics of modern cryptography and encryption. When the Data Encryption Standard (DES) was introduced in the 1970s, it was considered a solid block cipher. But DES has one major flaw by today’s standards — a small key space. With only 56 bits of key material, DES can be brute-forced with modern hardware by checking every possible key value. Once it was apparent that DES was no longer secure...| Kevin Sookocheff
This is an article in a series on Cryptography for the Everyday Developer. Follow along to learn the basics of modern cryptography and encryption. The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is based upon the principles of a substitution-permutation network that we learned about in the last post in this series. The design of DES is based on the principles of Feistel ciphers, which are a particular configuration of a substitution-permutation network developed by Horst Feistel at IBM.| Kevin Sookocheff

Encryption and hashing are very similar types of data manipulation, but they are used for different types of use cases. Read on to learn the difference!| Encryption Consulting
The major difference between the two types of encryption is, symmetric encryption uses 1 key, whereas asymmetric encryption uses 2 keys for data transfer.| Encryption Consulting
