Encryption is an essential tool that empowers marginalised people around the world to live their lives online without the risk of retribution. It protects the communications of vulnerable communities ...

Encryption technology underpins today's digital world, but trouble may be looming. Practical quantum computers threaten secure communications based on traditional algorithms, and researchers are ...

Solving prime factorization of a large number of digits is a challenging task that requires a considerable amount of time even if a supercomputer is used, and based on this, it is one of the ...

Chinese boffins have used a D-Wave quantum computer to mount a successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms. The advance, led by Wang Chao of Shanghai University, poses a “real and ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

The traditional and well-established approach to cyber security is to build multiple layers of defences to stop hackers or rogue insiders getting unauthorised access to data. But you only have to ...

In March 2016A quantum computer with the ability to decipher the current encryption method in the future is bornThere was news that it did. In other words, it will come that someone will eventually ...

Unlike quantum computing, which faces steep hardware challenges, AI research can be iterated, trained, and scaled on existing infrastructure. In practical terms, this means AI might pose a practical ...

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid ...

Here's a security update to haunt your dreams, and to make the FBI's quest for un-exploitable cryptographic backdoors look all the more absurd: a team of Israeli researchers has now shown that the ...
