With quantum computing threatening current encryption standards, experts call for organisations to achieve crypto agility by managing the lifecycle of certificates and cryptographic keys through autom ...

BIP-360 co-author Ethan Heilman says that making Bitcoin quantum-secure could take 7 years. Recent breakthroughs suggest time is running out.

Abstract: Rapid growth in the number of small sensor devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT) has seen the development of lightweight encryption algorithms. Two well-known lightweight algorithms ...

Abstract: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), as one of the most popular encryption algorithms, has been widely studied on single GPU and CPU. However, the research on multi-GPU platforms is not deep ...

About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...

VeraCrypt is a powerful, free, and open-source disk encryption software widely recognized as the successor to TrueCrypt. It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partition ...

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, ...

NordLocker is an encryption tool from the makers of NordVPN, offering a modern solution for file protection. It creates secure vaults in which you can drag and drop files to encrypt them. NordLocker ...

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 ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...
