OpenAI’s bumper crop of 722 math papers wowed and worried the research community—and cryptographers are split over whether ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study by NowSecure revealed that 96.9% of 136,711 tested iOS and Android apps did not contain code or libraries for ...

ASHBURN, Va. – At its core, quantum computing is very different from a traditional computer. The quantum computer operates on qubits, using quantum gates and measurements, rather than operating on ...

ASHBURN, Va. – There are three general categories of cryptographic algorithms commonly employed in trusted computing: secure hashing, symmetric cryptography, and asymmetric cryptography. Asymmetric ...

NIST’s first three PQC standards cover ML-KEM for key establishment and ML-DSA and SLH-DSA for digital signatures. The standards are designed to protect information against attacks involving future ...

A quantum-resistant cryptography algorithm that was under consideration as an official US standard has been taken out of the running after an Anthropic security model helped find a flaw that rendered ...

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 ...
