Symfony Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Do any of you here have a preferred encryption algorithm? I'm writing a small database system and think that the info there should be encrypted and appreciate feedback. Thanks! Quote

Symfony Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 Sorry for the joke post. Oh boy I didn't realize you were joking that's kind of a cool code that I didn't know about before, though. AES 256 is the actual standard. Gengis Yes, but is that necessary? I mean for the most part anything encrypted should be pretty much isolated and non accessible by anyone other than the user that created the DB... would a weaker algorithm suffice? Quote
Gengis Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Anything else is considered not secure in 2016. Other considerations are how sensitive is the data that needs to be encrypted. Gengis Quote
Xernicus Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Oh please. These responses are ridiculous.I use AES encryption for my company's files myself, but there are several valid encryption algorithms. AES 128/192/256 Kerberos RC4 DESX Blowfish GOST and etc Quote
