Space encryption hardware from Northrop Grumman and Aeronix is targeting a fivefold throughput increase for classified data ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and then vet encryption methods to significantly increase the security of digital information, the agency said. The Department of Commerce’s ...

Yoon Auh’s company does “cryptographic logistics,” swapping ciphers on the fly, because nobody can prove quantum-resistant replacements are actually secure.

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

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 ...

For more than 25 years, a technology used for critical data and voice radio communications around the world has been shrouded in secrecy to prevent anyone from closely scrutinizing its security ...

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 ...

Quantum computing will reshape encryption, but not overnight, and a disciplined, phased approach lets organizations modernize cryptographic foundations without disruption while strengthening security ...
