Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

Encryption algorithms like RSA, AES and others are designed to make it extremely difficult to reverse-engineer the encrypted data without knowing the key used to encrypt it.

Following six years of development, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has released draft standards for three algorithms that can resist future attacks by quantum computers. The U.S.

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

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further By Matthew Sparkes ...

Companies working on sensitive projects for the US government may soon be required to use encryption algorithms that protect their data and technology from quantum computer attacks. In July, the ...
