The race to post-quantum security is not just about new algorithms. It’s about discovering the forgotten keys, certificates, ...

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 ...

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a ...

Privacy professionals should pay closer attention to post-quantum cryptography as quantum-enabled attacks could eventually expose today's encrypted sensitive personal data.

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

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 ...

In 1994, a Bell Labs mathematician named Peter Shor cooked up an algorithm with frightening potential. By vastly reducing the computing resources required to factor large numbers—to break them down ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected a group of cryptographic algorithms to secure the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the related tiny sensors and actuators.

A bill of materials (BOM) is a manufacturer's declaration, but a cryptographic bill of materials is often produced by the ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...
