Details: It’s nearly impossible to do business of any kind without your personal data ending up in an organization’s networked computer system. Think about your exercise logs saved on your fitness watch or your banking information sent through your online account. Encryption can help protect data you send, receive, and store using your phone, tablet, or laptop.
An early tool used to protect our data was via the Data Encryption Standard. The U.S. government established DES as the standard in 1977, and it remained our standard until advances in technology made DES obsolete. Encryption remains a tool to protect our data; however, Advanced Encryption Standard or AES is now the standard.
Dr. Diffie serves on the NCMF Board of Directors and is a 2020 NSA/CSS Cryptologic Hall of Honor inductee. His innovative work in computer and internet security has enhanced the security of all users – government and civilian alike. His research at university facilities and private laboratories led the way in computer security theory and in practical applications. To learn more about his career and accomplishments, please visit his bio page on the ACM's A.M Turing Award website and view a video on YouTube about Dr. Diffie and Martin E. Hellman - A.M Turing Award Winners.
