An IBM quantum computer during a 2023 inauguration event. Last week, a cybersecurity-focused trade group for the financial services industry released a whitepaper advocating for banks and other ...

As NIST rolls out advanced PQC standards to address the ‘Harvest now, decrypt later’ threat, a new report suggests that a ...

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

The standards are based on four algorithms that NIST selected in 2022 after a six-year competition to craft new quantum-ready encryption methods. Those algorithms were CRYSTALS-Kyber, ...

If your company has sensitive information you wouldn’t want in the hands of bad actors or made publicly available in a few years, then it’s time to start thinking about your encryption.

Their design, which is also far from realization, might be able to factor the 2048-bit numbers used in RSA-based root certificates in about half a year. Imagining a new, non-RSA cryptosystem ...

NIST also considered that the algorithm had withstood the test of time, having been developed in 2014 by a team of cryptographers from Graz University of Technology, Infineon Technologies, Lamarr ...

With experts suggesting that quantum computers will decrypt public key algorithms by 2030, quantum risk cryptography is becoming vital.

The federal government has always needed to prevent classified information from being disclosed. But as cyberattacks become more sophisticated and prevalent, the stakes are only getting higher. One ...

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...
