Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

More complex algorithms slow computers down, and time is money, especially when milliseconds matter. The common, fairly simple encryption algorithm "MD5 was launched over 20 years ago and is still the ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms for general encryption and digital signatures. NIST ...

The developers behind the Tor network have announced a major upcoming change. The free overlay network, which enables anonymous communication on the web, will soon adopt ...

Hi, I'm Matthias, co-founder of Tuta, a secure email service. We are innovation leaders in encrypted communication and collaboration. The world is changing at a faster pace than ever, particularly in ...

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 ...

Not since World War II has encryption received so much attention. Germany, during that time, had some of the most able scientists and cryptographers, but the Allies cracked Germany's submarine codes ...

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).
