Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

The US Department of Commerce's technical standards organization NIST has nominated the Ascon group of cryptographic algorithms for protecting small devices and information transmitted to and from IoT ...

Modern cars are essentially software on wheels—“smart” collections of automotive systems, including entertainment, braking, power, locks, window controls, and so on. As the number of electronic ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...

Encryption is a term that many of us have come across, but what does it mean? To put it simply, encryption is the encoding of information. Various online services use it to keep your data private and ...

Attackers are recording, and sometimes forging, vast volumes of human communication. Some of this communication is protected by cryptographic systems such as the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) system and ...

When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...
