In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...

A number of you have e-mailed in to report that the Advanced Encryption Standard (aka, AES) encryption appears to be compromised (<i>andy fat bastard</i> was first, so he wins). The issue is whether ...

A few weeks ago, a U.N. Special Rapporteur solicited comments for a report on the relationship between free expression and the use of encryption and anonymity online. The report that he is writing ...

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the fundamental "no cloning" problem. The research, "Encrypted Qubits can be ...

Cryptographers want encryption schemes that are impossible for tomorrow’s quantum computers to crack. There’s only one catch: they might not exist. When we check email, log in to our bank accounts, or ...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data. It is a cryptographic standard, which was established by the US National ...
