Mathematicians often toil in obscurity, and that's likely because few people, apart from fellow mathematicians who share the same sub-specialty, understand what they do. Even when algorithms have ...

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, ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized a set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from quantum computers. These ...

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a ...

The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things has driven the need for security solutions that respect the severe resource constraints of many devices. Lightweight cryptographic algorithms are tailored ...

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...

Quantum computing is poised to change the world of IT. By taking advantage of quantum mechanics, quantum computers promise to solve certain categories of complex problems much more quickly than ...
