After a multi-year competition, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selected a suite of algorithms for standardization. For key exchange, the primary choice is the ...

Because the migration to PQC is a complex, multi-year undertaking that requires a strategic approach, Peters said organizations need to start now. Cryptography failure due to quantum attacks could ...

In my previous article/video how does encryption work? I wrote about the principles of encryption starting with the Caesar cipher and following the development of cryptography through to the modern ...

The Diffie-Hellman algorithm was a stunning breakthrough in cryptography that showed cryptographic keys could be securely exchanged in plain sight. Here’s how it works. Whitfield Diffie and Martin ...

A new type of optical fiber filled with nothing but thin air has been found to be particularly effective for carrying out quantum key distribution (QKD), a security protocol that is in principle ...

On Tuesday, the Association for Computing Machinery, the nation’s leading organization for computer science, awarded its annual top prize of $1 million to two men whose name will forever be ...

Encryption is one of the pillars of modern-day communications. You have devices that use encryption all the time, even if you are not aware of it. There are so many applications and systems using it ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

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 ...
