Microsoft prepares for security in a world where our old codes are easily broken. Get familiar with these technologies now before they become necessary.

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

For example, websites use public-key encryption to maintain secure internet connections, so sending sensitive information through websites would no longer be safe.

The number 13, for example, is written in binary as 1101, which has four bits. ... The first post-quantum encryption algorithm to be standardized, CRYSTALS-Kyber, ...

Organizations responsible for data security cannot afford to wait for quantum to arrive before building their defenses.

A New Attack Easily Knocked Out a Potential Encryption Algorithm SIKE was a contender for post-quantum-computing encryption. It took researchers an hour and a single PC to break it.

For example, NIST published the SHA-0 hashing algorithm in 1993 and replaced it with SHA-1 after a weakness was discovered. Then, doubts about SHA-1 started to emerge in 2005, and Google ...

The PQC algorithm used in the implementation of FIDO2 security keys takes a more cautious approach. It combines the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm—believed to be unbreakable by ...

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 ...

SHENZHEN, China, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroAlgo Inc. (the "Company" or "MicroAlgo") (NASDAQ: MLGO) announced that the quantum image encryption algorithm they developed, based on quantum key ...

In the same move, NIST advanced four additional algorithms as potential replacements pending further testing, in hopes one or more of them may also be suitable encryption alternatives in a post ...
