New cryptographic algorithms have been created that are based on particularly hard mathematical problems. They would be virtually unbreakable, say investigators. RUB researchers have developed new ...

In today's electronic age, the importance of digitalcryptography in securing electronic data transactions isunquestionable. Every day, users electronically generate andcommunicate a large volume of ...

Symbiont, a blockchain company developing a smart contract platform for institutional applications of distributed ledger technology, has hired Dr. Lisa Yin. One of the three cryptographers who first ...

What are cryptographic keys, and why should they be kept safe? A cryptographic key is a string of data that is used to encrypt data (to the data secret), decrypt data (to perform the reverse operation ...

The trouble with encryption is that everyone needs it, and every threat actor wants to break it. Thankfully, current cryptographic techniques are still at least one step ahead of the cracking curve.

Firmware—permanent software programmed into read-only memory that provides the low-level control for a device's hardware—is a fact of life for every embedded electronic device. Equally a fact of life ...
