The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that ASCON is the winning bid for the "lightweight cryptography" program to find the best algorithm to protect small IoT (Internet ...

MicroAlgo Inc. announced the integration of its quantum image LSQb algorithm with quantum encryption technology to create a new system for secure information hiding and transmission. This innovative ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

Sometimes it is necessary to keep certain data files private,whether the files are on a disk or perhaps sent over a network throughe-mails. Financial institutions, large corporations and ...

Quantum computing presents opportunities in strategic planning and discovery through complex simulations, but also risks in data security via Shor’s algorithm. Businesses must prepare now to leverage ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is proposing that the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a popular encryption algorithm, lose its certification for use in software products sold ...
