The race against Q-Day has begun, and success will require not just technical innovation, but the wisdom to learn from each ...

Imagine a world where today’s encryption, the very foundation of digital trust, can be unraveled in seconds. This isn’t ...

Increasing computing power will soon make existing encryption algorithms ineffective. Here’s how the industry is responding and how your agency can benefit from new encryption innovations today.

When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

As the attack surface expands and the threat landscape grows more complex, it’s time to consider whether your data protection ...

What does encryption algorithm actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

RSA — An asymmetric encryption algorithm, RSA is one of the oldest and most widely used standards for data encryption online. It is relatively slow, but it is regarded as very secure.

Like older encryption algorithms such as DES (Data Encryption Standard) and 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard), the purpose of the AES algorithm is to scramble and substitute input data based ...

The report argues that federal agencies must move beyond simply swapping out old algorithms with new encryption standards issued in the past year by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...

Once quantum computers become functional, experts warn, they could perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers—potentially enabling them to destroy the encryption that ...

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...

The algorithm, sometimes referred to as single DES, uses a 56-bit key to encrypt blocks of data, and can produce up to 72 trillion unique keys.
