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 ...

RSA is an encryption technique developed in the late 1970s that involves generating public and private keys; the former is used for encryption and the latter decryption. Current standards call for ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

Quantum computing (QC) has long held the promise of exceeding what is possible in conventional computing. Physicists have held that a 50 qubit QC arrangement could outperform any of today's ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

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 ...

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...
