Quantum computing presents both a potential breakthrough and a cryptographic threat -- one that Microsoft is tackling through what it calls "progress towards next‑generation cryptography." In a post ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

In 1996, I registered my first website, Vaughan-Nichols & Associates. After setting up the site, one of the first things I did was to secure connections with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate.

The spotlight on encrypted apps is also a reminder of the complex debate pitting government interests against individual liberties. Governments desire to monitor everyday communications for law ...

Hardly anyone is interested in my tax return—there’s not much to it. And that’s a good thing, given that an attacker might have fairly easily intercepted the encrypted communication between my laptop ...

In today’s digital economy, where organizations rely on cloud computing, mobile technologies and data-driven decision making, securing sensitive information has never been more critical. Encryption ...

With all the marketing Apple does around privacy, and all the talk lately of government surveillance around the globe, you would hope that the data for all your Apple cloud services is locked down ...
