The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced a new series of digital signature algorithms ready for the agency’s post-quantum cryptographic standardization process, following the ...

"These algorithms should cover most devices that have these sorts of resource constraints." ASCON was selected as the best of the 57 proposals submitted to NIST, several rounds of security analysis by ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Encryption is a term that many of us have come across, but what does it mean? To put it simply, encryption is the encoding of information. Various online services use it to keep your data private and ...

When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...
