Public-key algorithms are important too. They help get around the fundamental drawback of symmetric-key encryption, which is that you need a secure way to share symmetric keys in the first place.

These cryptography algorithms are designed to protect ephemeral data transmitted between edge devices and sensors, not long-term secrets.

The standard aims to protect IoT device data, including RFID tags and medical implants. Four configurations focus on two main ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long wit… ...

Proponents believe hybrid encryption compensates for weaknesses in single post-quantum algorithms, but performance, complexity, and security concerns remain.
