Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

It has long been believed that data fades quickly from a computer’s memory and that its encryption is sound once the computer is shut down. Not so, found Princeton University researchers who pried ...

A group of Chinese researchers has claimed to be able to break a widely used encryption scheme with a quantum computer that already exists, creating a possible boon for surveillance and a crisis for ...

Encryption is a key component of everyday life for most people, whether messaging on WhatsApp, shopping online, reading articles over a secure HTTPS connection, or protecting their passwords when ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Encryption is an important part of keeping our digital lives private ...

The secure network component of Finland’s quantum computer project has taken a significant leap forward in the wake of successful ultra-secure novel encryption technology (NET) tests. NET supports the ...

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone-- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data. The ...

We all thought banking and military security was impenetrable? That was, until Chinese researchers used a D-Wave quantum computer to execute what they claim as the first successful quantum attack on ...

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid ...
