In July, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies selected four cryptography algorithms as national standards for public key security in order to prepare for an era of quantum computers, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

Uncertainty surrounds a cracked post-quantum cryptography algorithm being considered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, now that researchers have potentially discovered a second ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...

Attackers are recording, and sometimes forging, vast volumes of human communication. Some of this communication is protected by cryptographic systems such as the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) system and ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...
