Implementation of Hybrid Encryption Using Java 1.8 and OpenSSL

Symmetric encryption is a type of encryption in which a single key is used to both encrypt and decrypt the data. Whereas in asymmetric encryption approach public/private key pair is used to do the same. This rules out the risk of mishandling of the key as the public key is only shared with the clients and the private key is kept secret. Client can encrypt the data with the key and send the data securely over any standard data sharing protocols. At the receiver end, the private key is used to decrypt the data.

But the time to encrypt the data with asymmetric encryption grows significantly proportionately with the size of data. Here symmetric encryption does the job quite efficiently.

Using Private Blockchain Network for End-to-End Encryption of Documents in ONLYOFFICE

The existing documen security measures are not perfectly sufficient. ONLYOFFICE created the solution to this problem that combines end-to-end encryption with blockchain technology. Read this article to learn more, and take part in the testing of the developer preview.

Why Basic Encryption Won’t Ever Succeed

The existing encryption technologies feature minor yet considerable gaps when it comes to possible accidents at the point of cloud security, namely leakages, insider access to the storage, or data transfer interventions. This happens for reasons related to both the solution and the users.
