Increasing computing power will soon make existing encryption algorithms ineffective. Here’s how the industry is responding and how your agency can benefit from new encryption innovations today.

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 ...

What does encryption algorithm actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

RSA — An asymmetric encryption algorithm, RSA is one of the oldest and most widely used standards for data encryption online. It is relatively slow, but it is regarded as very secure.

In an era where cyber threats are ever-evolving, ensuring the security of our data is paramount. From quantum-resistant ...

Encryption offers an extra layer of security to keep lost data safe by rendering data worthless to unauthorized users. Algorithms convert data into ciphertext so that it can’t be cracked.

Like older encryption algorithms such as DES (Data Encryption Standard) and 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard), the purpose of the AES algorithm is to scramble and substitute input data based ...

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...

Once quantum computers become functional, experts warn, they could perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers—potentially enabling them to destroy the encryption that ...

Paul Smith-Goodson explores the end-to-end features and capabilities of IBM Quantum Safe Technology and examines its usefulness in identifying non-quantum-safe encryption and replacing them with ...
