A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms for general encryption and digital signatures.

The standard, called HQC, is a backup for the main “post-quantum cryptography” algorithm NIST finalized for general encryption known as Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism, or ML-KEM.

Included in the encryption standards are the algorithms’ computer code, implementation instructions, and the intended uses for each form of encryption. The first, named Federal Information ...

A new research paper from a Google researcher slashed the estimated quantum resources needed to break RSA encryption, which ...

This new algorithm, set to redefine the standards of data privacy and enablement, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of data security, offering unprecedented levels of encryption ...

The path to PQC is fraught with risks. RSA and other encryption algorithms have been in use for decades with no known ways for them to be broken. Over the years, that track record has led to ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...

This first highlighted the vulnerability of public-key algorithms that weren’t able to offer this level of factorization. However, not all forms of public-key encryption are as susceptible to ...

Last week, a cybersecurity-focused trade group for the financial services industry released a whitepaper advocating for banks and other institutions to adopt an agility around encryption standards, so ...
