Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen ...

A view of NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md. (Photo credit: NIST) The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced an algorithm that could serve as a second line of defense to ensure ...

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 ...

Having steered cybersecurity at major global banks for over two decades, I've seen technology change the game time and again. Now, quantum computing is stepping onto the field, bringing with it a ...

Software developers are usually told to ‘never write your own cryptography’, and there definitely are sufficient examples to be found in the past decades of cases where DIY crypto routines caused real ...

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced the first series of quantum-resistant computer algorithms, a major development to secure digital information in a post-quantum world.
