Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...

Some bad actors are already harvesting encrypted data now to store it in hopes that they can decrypt it down the line when quantum computers become more powerful.

The federal government has always needed to prevent classified information from being disclosed. But as cyberattacks become more sophisticated and prevalent, the stakes are only getting higher. One ...

Such hardware is projected to someday be so powerful that it will have the ability to easily decrypt our present-day public-key encryption (standards like RSA and Diffie-Hellman).

With experts suggesting that quantum computers will decrypt public key algorithms by 2030, quantum risk cryptography is becoming vital.

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone -- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data ...

Their design, which is also far from realization, might be able to factor the 2048-bit numbers used in RSA-based root certificates in about half a year. Imagining a new, non-RSA cryptosystem ...
