Research conducted by Adi Shamir, one of the pioneers of the RSA algorithm for public-key cryptography which forms the basis of online security today indicates that bitcoin markets indicated that all the large bitcoin transactions over the past few years seem to have the same originating source, related to a single large transaction that took place in November 2010.

Google has sought to clone the key traits of its founders through an algorithm-driven hiring questionnaire.
The flaw, at least in part, is due to the algorithm used when generating the secret key to protect the data.
The government wants vendors to develop encryption software that includes a key recovery mechanism whereby the government could get access to the algorithm to decode a message for law enforcement purposes.

DES, developed by IBM Corp. and adopted by NIST in 1977, has only one key size -- 56 bits, which is the length of the encryption algorithm.

The certificate itself contains the issuer's name (for example, Chase Manhattan), a serial number, a signature algorithm ID, an expiration date, an employee's public key and unique identifiers for both the issuer and the employee.

Messages that appear in the priority box will initially be determined by an algorithm based on such as factors as the identity of the sender, key phrases in the message and whether the mail was sent to an individual or a large group.
Hitachi's version "scrambles data using a password-generated key" as the data is written, and then descrambled with the key as it is retrieved using the highly-touted Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.
