AES-256 and the Post-Quantum Panic: The Rare Cryptographic Algorithm That Isn’t Sweating

  • AES
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography
  • Quantum Computing

Quick Summary: AES-256 is the workhorse of enterprise data encryption at rest. It is not considered impacted by quantum computers or Post-Quantum Cryptography. It is considered quantum-resistant, which means it can withstand attacks from quantum computers / algorithms better than other encryption…

Symmetric Keys—Addendum

  • AES
  • DataPower
  • Key Management

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a brief post about how to generate symmetric keys that can be used with DataPower. It demonstrates how to generate shared keys of various lengths using the Unix dd command. Today, someone asked how a shared key (or symmetric key) can be generated using the openssl…

Generating and Uploading a Shared Key (Symmetric Key) to DataPower Appliances

  • AES
  • DataPower
  • Key Management

DataPower does not seem to provide a tool to generate a Shared Key that can be used with 3DES or AES algorithms. DataPower does provide a tool for generating X509 private keys, certificate requests, and self-signed certificates-in the Crypto Tools section-but we are concerned with Shared Keys…
