Post-quantum identity-based encryption has been solved from isogeny-based assumptions for the first time, as researchers from ...

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 ...

Graduate student Seyoon Ragavan led the work alongside senior author Vinod Vaikuntanathan, a computer science professor at ...

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

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 ...

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

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 Consulting today launched CBOM Secure V1.1, the first enterprise platform to automatically discover, inventory, and continuously monitor every encryption key, certificate, algorithm, and ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...
