The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...

For C-suite leaders, one of the most daunting operational challenges of the next decade will be the migration to post-quantum cryptography: algorithms that can defend against attacks from quantum ...

Privacy advocates are worried about the precedent this sets and the potential for abuse. Privacy advocates are worried about the precedent this sets and the potential ...

Microsoft provided the FBI with the recovery keys to unlock encrypted data on the hard drives of three laptops as part of a federal investigation, Forbes reported on Friday. Many modern Windows ...

We all keep secrets. Whether you are trying to protect messages to loved ones, company accounts or vital state intelligence, the technology that allows you peace of mind in our increasingly online ...

Quantum computing presents both a potential breakthrough and a cryptographic threat -- one that Microsoft is tackling through what it calls "progress towards next‑generation cryptography." In a post ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

In 1996, I registered my first website, Vaughan-Nichols & Associates. After setting up the site, one of the first things I did was to secure connections with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate.

The spotlight on encrypted apps is also a reminder of the complex debate pitting government interests against individual liberties. Governments desire to monitor everyday communications for law ...

Hardly anyone is interested in my tax return—there’s not much to it. And that’s a good thing, given that an attacker might have fairly easily intercepted the encrypted communication between my laptop ...

From private information retrieval to federated learning, new approaches to securing information are not only resulting in practical data security solutions but also ways of rethinking data ...
