The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

Mathematicians often toil in obscurity, and that's likely because few people, apart from fellow mathematicians who share the same sub-specialty, understand what they do. Even when algorithms have ...

At long last, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced the first four quantum-resistant algorithms that will become part of the post-quantum-cryptographic standard. The ...

The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has moved from research planning to operational execution. Federal policy, emerging procurement requirements, and evolving security standards are ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is accepting feedback on the Federal Information Processing Standards 203, 204 and 205 draft standards until November 22, according to its ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

Data protection provider Commvault Systems Inc. today announced new post-quantum cryptography capabilities designed to help customers protect data from emerging quantum security threats. The new PQC ...

Over the past several years, there has been a steady drumbeat of warnings about the impact of quantum computing on traditional encryption methods, with consistent calls for organizations – both within ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...
