It's 2008, and companies perhaps rich on VC money to waste in a guerilla marketing tactic for generating viral buzz, still talk and act as the "="" algorithm="" is ...

An encryption algorithm that was supposed to stand up to attacks from the future's most powerful computers was recently laid low by a much simpler machine. Reading time 2 minutes It turns out that ...

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 ...

For more than 25 years, a technology used for critical data and voice radio communications around the world has been shrouded in secrecy to prevent anyone from closely scrutinizing its security ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a second protocol for post-quantum quantum encryption to back up the potential failure of the initial standard, which it ...

Paytinel’s analysis of how encryption keeps payment data safe when it's sent and stored, lowers fraud risks, helps confirm identities, and makes payment systems more secure.

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...
