Today, a victim of a new ransomware called Paradise posted in the BleepingComputer.com forums and uploaded a sample so we could take a look at it. While this ransomware is not revolutionary by any ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

The days of relying on encryption to protect private data are coming to an end after it emerged that the use of distributed computing resources resulted in the cracking of the seemingly impregnable ...

Current standards call for using a 2,048-bit encryption key. Over the past several years, research has suggested that quantum computers would one day be able to crack RSA encryption, but because ...

Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

Public key cryptography is an encryption method that uses different keys for encryption and decryption. For example, when Bob and Alice interact, Alice creates a private key and a public key, and ...

RSA Security Inc. pre-empted a number of celebration parties by unexpectedly releasing the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week’s expiration of the ...

The rapid, continuing expansion of Internet and wireless based communications across open networks is creating an increasing need to encrypt the frequently sensitive or confidential data being ...

Security researchers have figured out how to steal RSA encryption keys just by recording the noises and electromagnetic signals made by a PC when it's busy computing a problem Reuters Israeli computer ...
