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 ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

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 ...

Learn how to implement algorithmic agility and post-quantum cryptography in MCP server-client negotiations to secure AI infrastructure against future threats.

Hackers try to find novel ways to circumvent or under­mine data encryption schemes all the time. But at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Purdue University researcher Sze ...
