About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

Keith Martin receives funding from EPSRC. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, ...

RSA is an encryption technique developed in the late 1970s that involves generating public and private keys; the former is used for encryption and the latter decryption. Current standards call for ...

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, ...

New research shows that RSA-2048 encryption could be cracked using a one-million-qubit system by 2030, 20x faster than previous estimates. Here’s what it means for enterprise security. A quantum ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

CryptoLab and UClone have partnered to integrate fully homomorphic encryption into UClone’s AI agent platform, creating the first consumer-facing AI agents with end-to-end encrypted data privacy, ...
