Many of the most widely used asymmetric crypto algorithms rely on this weakness of classical computers to keep the encryption asymmetric.

Post-Quantum Cryptography: The Algorithms That Will Protect Data In The Quantum Era Traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods won’t withstand attacks from quantum computers.

Two basic types of algorithms are used in modern cryptography—asymmetric key and symmetric key. Asymmetric-key algorithms use a combination of private and public keys while symmetric algorithms ...

To be able to effectively communicate information securely, it is vital that the data remains intact, albeit obfuscated, in the encrypted message. For this we need “true” cryptography as is found with ...

Cracking large integers with quantum mechanics Shor’s algorithm and a handful of other algorithms leverage quantum mechanics to crack the one-way functions at the heart of asymmetric cryptography.

The algorithms can be categorized in many different ways, but perhaps the most fundamental is the distinction between symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

Dr. Xiang Xie, Algorithm Scientist at PlatON, talks about the impact of lattice-based cryptography on digital asset platforms.

Chapter 3 of the Cryptographic Handbook delves into how modern cryptographic algorithms are implemented.
