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 ...

It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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, ...

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.

For more than 25 years, a technology used for critical data and voice radio communications around the world has been shrouded in secrecy to prevent anyone from closely scrutinizing its security ...

Global Quantum Forum 2026 opens in Chicago as Trump's post-quantum cryptography executive orders set 2030 and 2031 deadlines ...

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 ...
