Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...

Encryption is a cornerstone of digital security, but can be pretty difficult to understand, especially for all of us non-math people. Generally speaking, encryption safeguards sensitive data from ...

Post-quantum identity-based encryption has been solved from isogeny-based assumptions for the first time, as researchers from ...

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 ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

After years of review, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has chosen three encryption algorithms as the basis for its post-quantum security strategy. After years of review, the ...

Krishi specializes in making complex tech topics, like VPNs, cybersecurity, and online privacy, clear and accessible. With 5+ years of writing experience, his work appears in outlets such as TechRadar ...

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...
