Cryptography is one area of information security that is well known but often not well understood. The basics of the algorithms may stay the same, but as attacks and infections evolve, so too must the ...

Data Encryption Standard (DES) is an outdated symmetric key method of data encryption. It was adopted in 1977 for government agencies to protect sensitive data and was officially retired in 2005. IBM ...

Quantum computing isn’t new, yet there is a fear that the computing power it can offer at a commercial level could be used by threat actors to break the private keys that a lot of digital interactions ...

The global semiconductor industry is transitioning to the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) era. PQC is changing how digital systems defend against potential mathematical attacks. PQC algorithms are ...

Quantum computers could revolutionize everything from drug discovery to business analytics—but their incredible power also makes them surprisingly vulnerable. New research from Penn State warns that ...

Quantum computers don't need to be nearly as powerful as we thought to break the world's most secure encryption algorithms, scientists warn. New research claims that quantum computers can make widely ...
