Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...

The Internet is one of the most important inventions in human history. It has changed our lives for the better, and it’s now an integral part of our society. We can’t go back to a world without it.

The anticipated advent of quantum computing will have a devastating impact on existing modes of asymmetric data encryption. It’s likely that quantum-capable cyber-thieves, not to mention adversaries ...

Modern digital security relies heavily on encryption algorithms grounded in difficult math problems, which is the backbone of what’s known as public-key infrastructure (PKI). From securing websites to ...

In 2015, The NSA’s Information Assurance Directorate issued guidance to postpone moving from RSA cryptography to elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) if they hadn’t already done so. The guidance stated: ...

Two key PQC algorithms are ML-KEM and ML-DSA. ML-DSA is an efficient, performance-oriented lattice-based scheme for online communications and real-time data processing, replacing RSA and ECC.

New technology means new opportunities for innovation, but it also enables malicious hackers to cook up new cyberattacks. We always have to be on the lookout for new threats, even if they’re still ...

At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, a quartet of researchers, Alex Stamos, Tom Ritter, Thomas Ptacek, and Javed Samuel, implored everyone involved in cryptography, from software ...
