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 ...

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 ...

NSS with ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms passes lab testing and enters Modules in Process list, making Rocky Linux from CIQ one of the first Enterprise Linux distributions advancing FIPS-validated ...

Over the past several years, there has been a steady drumbeat of warnings about the impact of quantum computing on traditional encryption ...

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...

That mismatch is creating a risk most organizations are not tracking: cryptographic debt—the accumulated risk and cost that ...

Quantum computers may become a security threat as early as next year, and that threat will continue to grow over the next several years.

Experts disagree on timing, but carriers and customers should expect quantum technology capable of breaking today’s ...

Agencies should test post-quantum cryptography algorithms with their software and decide whether information security benefits outweigh the efficiency losses ahead of a federally mandated transition, ...

The National Institute for Standards and Technology has removed a controversial encryption algorithm from a key security document after years of reports that it contained a backdoor for the National ...
