The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things has driven the need for security solutions that respect the severe resource constraints of many devices. Lightweight cryptographic algorithms are tailored ...

Asymmetric cryptographic algorithms – RSA and ECC, which are based on solvable math – can be cracked in seconds by a quantum computer. Functional quantum computers once seemed a distant future state; ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

The president also launched efforts to research the scientific benefits of quantum computers — and protect that research from adversaries.

Mathematicians often toil in obscurity, and that's likely because few people, apart from fellow mathematicians who share the same sub-specialty, understand what they do. Even when algorithms have ...

We know the end of the line is in sight for classical cryptography. All the security encryption that protects our bank accounts, websites, and credit cards today will eventually be broken. That's not ...

Privacy professionals should pay closer attention to post-quantum cryptography as quantum-enabled attacks could eventually ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...
