Quantum computing may be taking its time to arrive, but when it does, encryption won't be the same again I’ve been fascinated by quantum computing and quantum cryptography for many years. Quantum ...

We don’t know when, but it will happen: Quantum computers will become so powerful that all existing public-key cryptography protections will be quickly crackable. According to Dr. Mark Jackson of ...

The Diffie-Hellman algorithm was a stunning breakthrough in cryptography that showed cryptographic keys could be securely exchanged in plain sight. Here’s how it works. Whitfield Diffie and Martin ...

There is a potential dark side to quantum computing, one that is a threat to how we secure data. Back in 1994, Peter Shor developed an algorithm for factoring large numbers using a quantum computer, ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I was recently asked to comment for a BBC ...

In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...

Understand the crypto concepts behind the modern internet security infrastructure, from digital signatures and transport layer security to blockchains and Bitcoin. Cryptography grows ever more ...

Asymmetric vs Symmetric Encryption: What’s the Difference? Your email has been sent Both asymmetric and symmetric encryption are being used by businesses to protect their information. But what are the ...

Public-key encryption, as noted in the profile of cryptographer Bruce Schneier, is complicated in detail but simple in outline. The article below is an outline of the principles of the most common ...
