Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...

Widely used encryption algorithms like RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) will be pointless. Depending on who is running the quantum computers, they will turn from superhero to supervillain.

The best encryption algorithms, though, were designed to be non-linear. Algorithms like AES or SHA rely upon repeatedly scrambling the data by passing it through a set of functions known as S-boxes.

Hashing is a one-way cryptographic function while encryption is designed to work both ways. Encryption algorithms take input and a secret key and generate a random looking output called a ...
