Modern internet security relies heavily on mathematical problems that ordinary computers cannot solve within a useful time. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer would approach some of those ...

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 with ...

In this paper, the authors present a peer analysis in the field of encryption algorithms, in concentrating on private key block ciphers which are generally used for bulk data and link encryption. They ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

Two of ASCON's native features highlighted in NIST's announcement are AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) and hashing. AEAD is an encryption mode that provides confidentiality and ...

Attackers are recording, and sometimes forging, vast volumes of human communication. Some of this communication is protected by cryptographic systems such as the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) system and ...

The coming threat of super-powerful computers capable of cracking today’s algorithms has tech companies building defenses and ...

Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...
