Just weeks after US president Joe Biden signed into law the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, there are reports that Chinese researchers have cracked RSA 2048 bit encryption. Given ...

While a standard isn't in place yet, now is the time to understand your risks and put a focus on agility. Okay, we get it: Quantum computers will break today’s public key cryptography. So, now what?

Jeffery DelViscio: Quantum and cryptography: those are two words that might strike fear in the minds of the uninitiated. But in February’s issue of Scientific American, we have a story about how ...

The security system that underlies the internet makes use of a curious fact: You can broadcast part of your encryption to make your information much more secure. When you purchase through links on our ...

Public key encryption has long been a cornerstone in securing digital communications, allowing messages to be encrypted with a recipient’s publicly available key while only being decrypted by the ...

Wong: So, Joppe, could you tell us why we need a new standard for public-key encryption? Bos: Yeah, thanks. Publicly, encryption is one of the key components in cryptography, so I'll use symmetric key ...

Nathan Eddy works as an independent filmmaker and journalist based in Berlin, specializing in architecture, business technology and healthcare IT. He is a graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill ...

Post-quantum security revolves around staying in the race because when quantum arrives, it won’t send a warning. Those who have acted early in the transition to quantum-resilient TLS will have the ...

I'm trying to understand how public key authentication works and with tools such as ChatGPT I'm able to resolve how it works; the server keeps a tab of "authorized" public keys and uses them to ...

The protocol removes reliance on pre-shared keys and central authorities, making it suitable for scalable smart city ...

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen ...
