Cryptography is the science of securing information by transforming it into a form that only intended recipients can process and read. Its first known use dates back to the year 1900 BC as ...

XOR Function XOR (exclusive or) is a vital logical operation that’s used in various capacities in a lot, if not all, cryptographic algorithms. Figure 1 shows how this function works.

But for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which rely on today’s cryptographic algorithms for security, this technological leap could pose new risks.

These new algorithms are part of NIST’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) program, and today’s news comes eight years after NIST first announced a call for proposals asking for standards and ...

Cryptographic algorithms are what keep us safe online, protecting our privacy and securing the transfer of information. But many experts fear that quantum computers could one day break these ...

The new algorithm behaves well on a much broader range. “I’m really happy someone did it,” said Thomas Espitau, a cryptography researcher at the company PQShield and an author of the 2021 ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized a set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from quantum computers. These ...

Companies can now start to integrate new cryptographic algorithms into their products to protect them from future hacks. Some companies have already taken steps to replace current forms of ...

Fabric said in the press release that the VPU is "the first custom silicon chip that uses an instruction set architecture specific to cryptography," which means that "any cryptographic algorithm ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

This new technical paper titled “Symmetric Cryptography on RISC-V: Performance Evaluation of Standardized Algorithms” was published by researchers at Intel, North Arizona University and Google, with ...
