The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the selection of a new family of cryptographic algorithms called ASCON, which have been developed for lightweight ...

Quantum computers will fundamentally change the way we look at humanity’s most complex problems. They promise new insights, from materials science to medicine and climate research. However, this ...

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, ...

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

DAES XTS IP Core from Digital Core Design is a compact cryptographic co-processor designed to seamlessly implement the Rijndael encryption algorithm i ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

NIST treats post-quantum cryptography as a separate challenge, running a different program for developing quantum-resistant standards, and the effort has already yielded its first results. For more ...

The FIDO2 industry standard adopted five years ago provides the most secure known way to log in to websites because it doesn’t rely on passwords and has the most secure form of built-in two-factor ...
