A San Francisco company paid nearly $1 million for the solution to an unsolved code in Kryptos, a sculpture on the C.I.A.

Classical public-key cryptography derives its security from integer factorisation. Diagram by Venus Kolhi. Quantum computers bring exponential computing power, ultrafast calculations, advanced ...

ENISA (the EU Agency for Cybersecurity) has published the first draft of Version 3 of the Agreed Cryptographic Mechanisms (ACM) document. The draft, authored by the ECCG (European ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Modern encryption relies on mathematical assumptions that quantum computers may soon render obsolete. This technological shift creates new ...

There is a question I have been hearing more and more from CISOs, compliance officers, and security architects over the past year. It does not start with “we had a breach” or “we failed an audit.” It ...

Quantum computers are closer than ever. The year 2026 has been internationally designated the "Year of Quantum Security" -- ...

As threats evolve faster, protecting security algorithms from design through manufacturing and across the supply chain is ...

Forget about email hackers. What if someone nabs your external drive and all the data on it? Thwart thieves with a drive with ...

AES is one of the most widely used cryptographic algorithms in embedded systems today. It protects industrial gateways, FPGA-based communication systems, automotive networks, VPNs, secure boot chains, ...

This research might also help pave the way for the quantum internet and other quantum systems in 40-50 years. Computer scientists with Toshiba Europe recently distributed quantum encryption keys ...
