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 ...

Day, when an algorithm written more than 30 years ago could run on a quantum computer and compromise the security of data on ...

It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a ...

Quantum computers can't crack regular VPN encryption just yet, but what happens when that changes?

Ofer A. Lidsky is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience and is the founder and CEO of Excellent Brain. In today’s digital age, data encryption is vital for protecting sensitive information.

A view of NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md. (Photo credit: NIST) The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced an algorithm that could serve as a second line of defense to ensure ...

Cryptographers want encryption schemes that are impossible for tomorrow’s quantum computers to crack. There’s only one catch: they might not exist. When we check email, log in to our bank accounts, or ...

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, ...

Encryption Consulting today launched CBOM Secure V1.1, the first enterprise platform to automatically discover, inventory, and continuously monitor every encryption key, certificate, algorithm, and ...

TL;DR: Although often labeled a "dark web" associated with criminal activity and illicit marketplaces, Tor is an invaluable tool for protecting online privacy. Developers are now working to make the ...
