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 ...

It's only a matter of time before quantum computers reach the point where they can break commonly used encryption algorithms such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman, Diffie-Hellman and Advanced Encryption ...

Quantum computing has the potential to one day break today’s encryption algorithms, requiring a proactive approach to finding new and innovative ways to protect data that can withstand those upcoming ...

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, ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

Virtual private networks, or VPNs, have become an essential part of today’s online security toolkit. A VPN hides your public IP address by routing your internet traffic through a remote server. It ...

Encryption is a cornerstone of digital security, but can be pretty difficult to understand, especially for all of us non-math people. Generally speaking, encryption safeguards sensitive data from ...

Space encryption hardware from Northrop Grumman and Aeronix is targeting a fivefold throughput increase for classified data aboard U.S. military low Earth orbit satellites, closing the critical gap ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. We all thought banking and military security was impenetrable? That was, until Chinese researchers used a D-Wave quantum computer to execute what they ...

The dreaded Q-day could arrive sooner than expected, and when it does, experts say we need to be ready. Reading time 8 minutes In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum algorithm ...
