Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

The HSM hasn’t changed much in decades, even as everything else around it has. It’s time to stop thinking of HSMs as boxes ...

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 ...

Lightweight electronics, meet the heavyweight champion for protecting your information: Security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have announced a victor in their ...

Image encryption and associated security algorithms have become critical in protecting visual data as digital communication networks expand. Contemporary methods combine traditional cryptographic ...

The National Institute for Standards and Technology has removed a controversial encryption algorithm from a key security document after years of reports that it contained a backdoor for the National ...

When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

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 ...

It’s wild to think that a math puzzle from the 1200s is now helping power AI, encryption, and the digital world we live in.
