Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to ...

New information has shown that one of the more popular security suites available for Android and iOS is so fundamentally compromised, its claims constitute false advertising. That software suite, NQ ...

New kinds of encryption methods have been developed for improving the privacy protection of consumers to enable safer, more reliable and easier-to-use user authentication than current systems allow.

A group of Chinese researchers has claimed to be able to break a widely used encryption scheme with a quantum computer that already exists, creating a possible boon for surveillance and a crisis for ...

Security teams are torn between the quest to encrypt everything and the technical feasibility of doing so. The advantage of encryption is that it obscures data, even after a breach, and satisfies ...

Microsoft has finally decided to discontinue the RC4 encryption method that has been supported by default in Windows for 26 years. By eliminating this old technology, which has been the target of ...

The advent of better quantum computers is something to be excited about. Research on developing more practical quantum computers abound, including those that can make it work as a consumer product—and ...

Eruces Data Security has secured a patent for its three-step encryption and key management scheme, which is designed to lock down data through its lifecycle. The security firm’s so-called Tricryption ...

In a new approach to security that unites technology and art, E researchers have combined silver nanostructures with polarized light to yield a range of brilliant colors, which can be used to encode ...

Humans have already demonstrated the ability to create some seriously secure encryption algorithms, but that wasn’t enough for the Google Brain team. So, instead of relying on those soft, mushy human ...
