The rapid, continuing expansion of Internet and wireless based communications across open networks is creating an increasing need to encrypt the frequently sensitive or confidential data being ...

Las Vegas — Within five years the math for cracking encryption algorithms could become so efficient that it may render today’s commonly used RSA public key cryptography algorithm obsolete, Black Hat ...

Post-quantum cryptography is a new type of encryption. It is made to resist attacks from quantum computers. PQC algorithms are not like regular cryptography. Regular cryptography uses math problems, ...

Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, the latest of which reports new estimates ...

Researchers at Black Hat USA 2013 made a call for usage of elliptic curve cryptography in favor of the RSA algorithm, which the experts said could be cracked in the next five years. LAS VEGAS – ...

Expertise from Forbes Councils members, operated under license. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Imagine if, tomorrow, someone invented a “digital skeleton key” that could unlock any ...

Cryptography provides the foundation for encryption, privacy and secure communication, and as such it has evolved heavily in the past and it will continue to deal with new threats in the future. You ...

This is where we design the systems, the "making ciphers" part. It’s about creating methods to scramble information so it’s ...

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...
