The four selected encryption algorithms will become part of NIST's post-quantum cryptographic standard, expected to be finalized around 2024. This selection marks the beginning of NIST's post ...

Offering up to $120,000 in rewards, Naoris is challenging researchers to break the cryptographic primitives that secure major ...

The first, named Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 203 is a general encryption standard based on the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm, renamed to Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation ...

The paper is called “Fast Factoring Integers by SVP Algorithms” and it was written by Claus Schnorr, 77, a respected cryptographer who retired from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in 2011.

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...

PQC algorithms are in their infancy, and that has rightly led to concern that they can’t yet be trusted. A case in point: a PQC algorithm called SIKE.

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further ...

Android has required that smartphones support storage encryption since Android 6 in 2015, but low-end devices have remained exempt because the demand would significantly impact performance. And ...

The Redmond, Wash., software company instituted a new policy for all developers that bans functions using the DES, MD4, MD5 and, in some cases, the SHA1 encryption algorithm, which is becoming ...
