Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

When that break occurs, the mathematics behind the code moves instantly. Organizations, however, do not move so fast.

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 ...

Quantum computing is no longer a distant research project—it’s steadily moving toward real-world capability. While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers aren’t ...

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 ...

The National Institute for Standards and Technology has removed a controversial encryption algorithm from a key security document after years of reports that it contained a backdoor for the National ...

A successful quantum-safe strategy is built on a unified security platform, not on a collection of point solutions. It prioritizes crypto agility over disruptive replacement, and it begins with deep ...
