The US Department of Commerce's technical standards organization NIST has nominated the Ascon group of cryptographic algorithms for protecting small devices and information transmitted to and from IoT ...

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).

In modern day encryption, the generation of random numbers plays a vital role in providing necessary privacy and security in most of our devices and digital accounts. In reality, most random numbers ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

Many companies are using RFID tags with Electronic Product Codes to track goods for supply-chain management. Some businesses are also employing EPC RFID tags to thwart counterfeiting and for product ...

Engineers propose a new kind of encryption to protect data in the age of quantum computers. It's fairly reasonable to assume that an encrypted email can't be seen by prying eyes. That's because in ...
