The last several years have seen the usual sea of change in IT—and by extension IT security — systems. Moore’s Law, in addition to describing advancements in computing power, has led to more complex algorithms for encryption. The ability to process more has, for example, driven SSL encryption key sizes from 256 bits to 4 Kb in less than a decade. Applications can be better protected today than they have been historically, assuming the requisite computing power can be dedicated to this protection.
