  2. 256-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256-bit_computing

    256 bits is a common key size for symmetric ciphers in cryptography, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Increasing the word size can accelerate multiple precision mathematical libraries. Applications include cryptography. Researchers at the University of Cambridge use a 256-bit capability pointer, which includes capability and ...

  3. Advanced Encryption Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard

    This attack is against AES-256 that uses only two related keys and 239time to recover the complete 256-bit key of a 9-round version, or 245time for a 10-round version with a stronger type of related subkey attack, or 270time for an 11-round version. The Advanced Encryption Standard(AES), also known by its original name Rijndael(Dutch ...

  4. Key size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_size

    Key size. In cryptography, key size or key length refers to the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). Key length defines the upper-bound on an algorithm's security (i.e. a logarithmic measure of the fastest known attack against an algorithm), because the security of all algorithms can be violated by brute ...

  5. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

    The Secure Hash Algorithms are a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), including: SHA-0: A retronym applied to the original version of the 160-bit hash function published in 1993 under the name "SHA".

  6. 256 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256_(number)

    256 is a composite number, with the factorization 256 = 2 8, which makes it a power of two. 256 is 4 raised to the 4th power, so in tetration notation, 256 is 2 4. [1] 256 is a perfect square (16 2). 256 is the only 3-digit number that is zenzizenzizenzic. It is 2 to the 8th power or. 256 is the lowest number that is a product of eight prime ...

  7. SHA-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

    The performance numbers labeled 'x86' were running using 32-bit code on 64-bit processors, whereas the 'x86-64' numbers are native 64-bit code. While SHA-256 is designed for 32-bit calculations, it does benefit from code optimized for 64-bit processors on the x86 architecture. 32-bit implementations of SHA-512 are significantly slower than ...

  8. BitLocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker

    BitLocker is a logical volume encryption system. (A volume spans part of a hard disk drive, the whole drive or more than one drive.) When enabled, TPM and BitLocker can ensure the integrity of the trusted boot path (e.g. BIOS and boot sector), in order to prevent most offline physical attacks and boot sector malware.

  9. 8-bit color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-bit_color

    8-bit color graphics are a method of storing image information in a computer's memory or in an image file, so that each pixel is represented by 8 bits (1 byte). The maximum number of colors that can be displayed at any one time is 256 per pixel or 2 8. [1]
