Karsten Nohl, the founder of Berlin's Security Research Labs, has announced an exploit for SIM cards using the outdated 56-bit DES algorithm for its signature verification. The security researcher ...

Quantum computing — the use of machines that perform exponentially more calculations and process far more data than standard hardware — is growing at a rate that could make it a threat to payment ...

Las Vegas – In the last Black Hat briefing of the day Wednesday, German security researcher Karsten Nohl of Security Research Labs demonstrated a SIM card attack that exploited sloppy encryption and ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen a new algorithm for post-quantum encryption. The HQC algorithm is intended to serve as a backup for ML-KEM, the main algorithm ...

Abstract Initially, a key range variable is created by concatenating the card group value, card number and reference number for an encryption key to be generated. A hashing algorithm generates an ...

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.

Before we move into the meat of this article, let’s define a couple terms related to cryptography. The syllable crypt may make you think of tombs, but it comes from a Greek word that means “hidden” or ...

Ron Steinfeld receives funding from the Australian Research Council. When checking your email over a secure connection, or making a purchase from an online retailer, have you ever wondered how your ...
