An encryption algorithm that was supposed to stand up to attacks from the future's most powerful computers was recently laid low by a much simpler machine. Reading time 2 minutes It turns out that ...

Ofer A. Lidsky is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience and is the founder and CEO of Excellent Brain. In today’s digital age, data encryption is vital for protecting sensitive information.

Cryptography is one area of information security that is well known but often not well understood. The basics of the algorithms may stay the same, but as attacks and infections evolve, so too must the ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has debuted three encryption algorithms that it claims will help safeguard critical data from cyber attacks originating from quantum ...

In the era of Internet and social media, where much of our communication happens online, it’s easy to take our privacy for granted and to trust that the messages we send and transactions we perform ...

In today’s digital economy, where organizations rely on cloud computing, mobile technologies and data-driven decision making, securing sensitive information has never been more critical. Encryption ...

The US now has four post-quantum cryptographic algorithms it plans to make part of a new set of public-key cryptography standards by 2024. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of ...

The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and then vet encryption methods to significantly increase the security of digital information, the agency said. The Department of Commerce’s ...

In 1994, a Bell Labs mathematician named Peter Shor cooked up an algorithm with frightening potential. By vastly reducing the computing resources required to factor large numbers—to break them down ...

Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...
