When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms for general encryption and digital signatures. NIST ...

Quantum computing represents a major threat to encryption, and the inflection point may be less than five years away.

Steve Orrin is the federal CTO for Intel Corporation. He has held architectural and leadership positions at Intel, driving strategy and projects on identity, anti-malware, HTML5 security, cloud and ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

Encryption software is a technology that uses cryptographic algorithms to convert plain text or data into ciphertext, rendering it unintelligible to unauthorized individuals. The encryption process ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

"It’s déjà vu all over again" aptly describes each news headline about the next major data breach. Throughout history, if someone had valuable information, others would seek access to that information ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced the first series of quantum-resistant computer algorithms, a major development to secure digital information in a post-quantum world.

The US Department of Commerce's technical standards organization NIST has nominated the Ascon group of cryptographic algorithms for protecting small devices and information transmitted to and from IoT ...
