The encryption protecting communications against criminal and nation-state snooping is under threat. As private industry and governments get closer to building useful quantum computers, the algorithms ...

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

U.S. government information networks handling controlled unclassified and national security information are under continual cyber attack by sophisticated peer and near-peer adversaries. Evolving cyber ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

Quantum computers don't need to be nearly as powerful as we thought to break the world's most secure encryption algorithms, scientists warn. New research claims that quantum computers can make widely ...
