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 ...

We’re accelerating quantum-safe readiness—and sharing what organizations can do now to transition earlier and with confidence ...

The SHA-1 algorithm, one of the first widely used methods of protecting electronic information, has reached the end of its useful life, according to security experts at the National Institute of ...

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 ...

Scientists think they've created the first practical cryptographic algorithm that could protect data and communications from quantum computers. However, other experts in the field remain skeptical, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
