Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to ...

Encryption is a cornerstone of digital security, but can be pretty difficult to understand, especially for all of us non-math people. Generally speaking, encryption safeguards sensitive data from ...

Security teams are torn between the quest to encrypt everything and the technical feasibility of doing so. The advantage of encryption is that it obscures data, even after a breach, and satisfies ...

New kinds of encryption methods have been developed for improving the privacy protection of consumers to enable safer, more reliable and easier-to-use user authentication than current systems allow.

Microsoft has finally decided to discontinue the RC4 encryption method that has been supported by default in Windows for 26 years. By eliminating this old technology, which has been the target of ...

The fatal flaw of encrypted backups: You are locking yourself out of your own data ...

The advent of better quantum computers is something to be excited about. Research on developing more practical quantum computers abound, including those that can make it work as a consumer product—and ...

In a new approach to security that unites technology and art, E researchers have combined silver nanostructures with polarized light to yield a range of brilliant colors, which can be used to encode ...

New information has shown that one of the more popular security suites available for Android and iOS is so fundamentally compromised, its claims constitute false advertising. That software suite, NQ ...

Imagine a world where the most widely-used cryptographic methods turn out to be broken: quantum computers allow encrypted Internet data transactions to become readable by anyone who happened to be ...
