The race to post-quantum security is not just about new algorithms. It’s about discovering the forgotten keys, certificates, ...

Quantum computers can't crack regular VPN encryption just yet, but what happens when that changes?

Asymmetric cryptographic algorithms – RSA and ECC, which are based on solvable math – can be cracked in seconds by a quantum computer. Functional quantum computers once seemed a distant future state; ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

Privacy professionals should pay closer attention to post-quantum cryptography as quantum-enabled attacks could eventually expose today's encrypted sensitive personal data.

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NIST published the final version of FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA) on August 13, 2024, making the first post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) ...

Mathematicians often toil in obscurity, and that's likely because few people, apart from fellow mathematicians who share the same sub-specialty, understand what they do. Even when algorithms have ...

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a ...
