An IBM quantum computer during a 2023 inauguration event. Last week, a cybersecurity-focused trade group for the financial services industry released a whitepaper advocating for banks and other ...

As NIST rolls out advanced PQC standards to address the ‘Harvest now, decrypt later’ threat, a new report suggests that a ...

The standards are based on four algorithms that NIST selected in 2022 after a six-year competition to craft new quantum-ready encryption methods. Those algorithms were CRYSTALS-Kyber, ...

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

Some bad actors are already harvesting encrypted data now to store it in hopes that they can decrypt it down the line when quantum computers become more powerful.

Increasing computing power will soon make existing encryption algorithms ineffective. Here’s how the industry is responding and how your agency can benefit from new encryption innovations today.

However, the weak chips inside these devices call for an algorithm that can deliver robust encryption at very little computational power.

With experts suggesting that quantum computers will decrypt public key algorithms by 2030, quantum risk cryptography is becoming vital.

Their design, which is also far from realization, might be able to factor the 2048-bit numbers used in RSA-based root certificates in about half a year. Imagining a new, non-RSA cryptosystem ...

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...
