Quantum computing represents a major threat to encryption, and the inflection point may be less than five years away.

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Quantum computers could one day crack the encryption protecting your most sensitive data. Here's how VPNs are adapting. I’ve been writing about technology since 2012, focusing on privacy. With ...

U.S. government information networks handling controlled unclassified and national security information are under continual cyber attack by sophisticated peer and near-peer adversaries. Evolving cyber ...

You’re at the checkout screen after an online shopping spree, ready to enter your credit card number. You type it in and instantly see a red error message ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

Cambridge, MA – If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine-learning model might think it is a new data point. In ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

Abstract: Symmetric encryption algorithms learned by the previous proposed end-to-end adversarial network encryption communication systems are deterministic. With the same key and same plaintext, the ...
