The US Department of Commerce's technical standards organization NIST has nominated the Ascon group of cryptographic algorithms for protecting small devices and information transmitted to and from IoT ...

Modern cars are essentially software on wheels—“smart” collections of automotive systems, including entertainment, braking, power, locks, window controls, and so on. As the number of electronic ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...

When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...

Encryption is a term that many of us have come across, but what does it mean? To put it simply, encryption is the encoding of information. Various online services use it to keep your data private and ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

Learn how to protect the information handled by your .NET applications by encrypting and decrypting the data using either a single key or a public/private key pair. Encryption transforms data into a ...

A known-plaintext attack (KPA) occurs when a hacker uses pairs of both encrypted and unencrypted data to figure out the encryption algorithm or key. In this attack, the hacker has access to both the ...
