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 ...

Although quantum computers aren’t yet overcoming encryption at scale, that doesn’t mean the IoT sector can afford to wait.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things has driven the need for security solutions that respect the severe resource constraints of many devices. Lightweight cryptographic algorithms are tailored ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...

Quantum computers powerful enough to break widely used public-key encryption aren’t here yet, but migration won’t be as simple as swapping in a new tool.

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