Over the past several years, there has been a steady drumbeat of warnings about the impact of quantum computing on traditional encryption ...

Image encryption and associated security algorithms have become critical in protecting visual data as digital communication networks expand. Contemporary methods combine traditional cryptographic ...

Quantum computers may become a security threat as early as next year, and that threat will continue to grow over the next several years.

That mismatch is creating a risk most organizations are not tracking: cryptographic debt—the accumulated risk and cost that ...

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Encrypted communications are considered vital for many organizations, from military users to law enforcement officers. Meanwhile, the ability to listen in on those communications is of great value to ...

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, ...

Encryption is the process of converting readable data, known as plaintext, into a jumbled string of data called ciphertext. Encryption algorithms use mathematical operations to scrabble data, making ...
