What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

AI attacks weakened the HAWK signature candidate, while RSA factoring records underscore the need for cryptographic agility.

NIST released its first set of post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, giving organizations a clear path forward in securing their systems with quantum-safe algorithms. The standards ...

Cryptography is undoubtedly one of the most complex and daunting topics in information security. So let's start with the basics: What is cryptography? Cryptography is a method of storing and ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

Quantum computing has the potential to one day break today’s encryption algorithms, requiring a proactive approach to finding new and innovative ways to protect data that can withstand those upcoming ...

Three NIST-approved encryption algorithms set the stage for establishing PQC strategies, which — despite quantum computing’s infancy — CISOs should begin launching given the attack techniques and ...
