A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

Las Vegas — Within five years the math for cracking encryption algorithms could become so efficient that it may render today’s commonly used RSA public key cryptography algorithm obsolete, Black Hat ...

Quantum computers won’t break the internet tomorrow… but they will break your email security sooner than you think. Today, cybercriminals and state-sponsored groups are quietly collecting encrypted ...

Hi, I'm Matthias, co-founder of Tuta, a secure email service. We are innovation leaders in encrypted communication and collaboration. The world is changing at a faster pace than ever, particularly in ...

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) paid $10 million to vendor RSA in a “secret” deal to incorporate a deliberately flawed encryption algorithm into widely used security software, according to a ...

Quantum computing represents a looming—and inevitable—threat to almost every aspect of our digital world that is protected by current forms of encryption. Either within this decade or the next, ...

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 ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...
