Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

Quantum computing is no longer a distant research project—it’s steadily moving toward real-world capability. While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers aren’t ...

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 ...

NSS with ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms passes lab testing and enters Modules in Process list, making Rocky Linux from CIQ one of the first Enterprise Linux distributions advancing FIPS-validated ...

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...

Over the past several years, there has been a steady drumbeat of warnings about the impact of quantum computing on traditional encryption ...

Quantum computers may become a security threat as early as next year, and that threat will continue to grow over the next several years.

Denis Mandich, CTO of Qrypt, a quantum cybersecurity company, and founding member of the Quantum Economic Development ...

The National Institute for Standards and Technology has removed a controversial encryption algorithm from a key security document after years of reports that it contained a backdoor for the National ...

That mismatch is creating a risk most organizations are not tracking: cryptographic debt—the accumulated risk and cost that ...
