An encryption method for transmitting data that uses key pairs, comprising one private and one public key. Public key cryptography is called "asymmetric encryption" because both keys are not equal. A ...

Public key encryption with equality test (PKEET) represents a significant advance in cryptographic research. This technology allows a designated tester to determine whether two independently generated ...

If you’ve picked up a newspaper in the last two weeks, you’ve probably read something about digital encryption. It’s at the heart of the debate between the FBI and Apple: Can the government compel the ...

A new global survey reveals a dangerous gap in preparation for the quantum computing threat that might only be three years away.

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms for general encryption and digital signatures. NIST ...

In 1976, Martin E. Hellman and Whitfield Diffie created public-key cryptography—and with it transformed the world of digital security. Now, they’ve been honored with the 2016 Turing Award, often ...

Current public-key cryptography is expected to be broken by a large-scale quantum computer as soon as eight years from now. There is no question that quantum computing poses significant risks to the ...

The inventors of public key cryptography have won the 2015 Turing Award, just as a contentious debate kicks off in Washington over how much protection encryption should really provide. The Association ...

Encryption is one of the pillars of modern-day communications. You have devices that use encryption all the time, even if you are not aware of it. There are so many applications and systems using it ...
