Organizations must become quantum-ready before today's cryptography becomes tomorrow's liability.

Cryptographic algorithms are high-performance, secure engines that require considerable space in a design. When countermeasures are added to thwart security attacks, the space and memory requirements ...

Modern software systems rely on patching and updates as flaws are found. Famed venture capitalist Marc Andreessen coined the phrase, “Software is eating the world” in a Wall Street Journal op-ed back ...

Google security engineers Daniel Bleichenbacher and Thai Duong announced the launch of Project Wycheproof on Monday, a set of security tests that look for known weaknesses and check for expected ...

NIST finalized the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024. Adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data today with the intent to decrypt it once quantum capabilities mature, a ...

A padlocked icon in a web-browser or a URL starting with https provides communication security over the Internet. The icon or URL indicates OpenSSL, a cryptography toolkit implementing the SSL ...

Cryptography is the go-to defense for cybersecurity, it’s essentially the strongbox of the computing era—and just like a strongbox it’s not designed to keep the contents perfectly safe from all ...

Space encryption hardware from Northrop Grumman and Aeronix is targeting a fivefold throughput increase for classified data ...

This is the third installment in Reason's four-part documentary series titled "Cypherpunks Write Code." Watch the complete series here. In 1977, a team of cryptographers at MIT made an astonishing ...

As a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1996, Amit Sahai was fascinated by the strange notion of a “zero-knowledge” proof, a type of mathematical protocol for convincing ...

As the 'war on terrorism' unfolds, some politicians are calling for controls on the availability of encryption software. But many computer scientists claim such moves would play into the terrorists' ...
