Much interest in quantum computer development was spurred by Peter Shor's 1994 discovery of an algorithm that showed how ...

​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

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 ...

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, ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

In today's electronic age, the importance of digitalcryptography in securing electronic data transactions isunquestionable. Every day, users electronically generate andcommunicate a large volume of ...
