Scientists say that hiding secret messages using AI chatbots could lead to a world of iron-clad encryption.

How end-to-end encryption works E2EE for email is typically achieved with Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), a public protocol and standard that uses public-key cryptography to ...

European telco standards body launches its first post-quantum cryptography cyber standard, covering the security of critical data and communications.

AES and algorithms like it use just the same key for both encryption and decryption, so this key must remain secret at all times. AES is more efficient for encrypting data compared to public-key ...

Five cybersecurity pillars can improve data protection. They include risk management, using AI, encryption, optimal cloud hybrid environments, and incident response.
