It's an aggressive move that'll effectively force operators of critical French infrastructure to move away from traditional cryptographic systems.

The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and then vet encryption methods to significantly increase the security of digital information, the agency said. The Department of Commerce’s ...

For years, the threat of quantum computing lived comfortably in the category of “interesting but distant,” but that comfort ...

Cryptographic algorithms are the backbone of secure data and communication. When deployed correctly, public-key algorithms have generally helped safeguard data against attacks. However, industry ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...

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, ...
