Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

The U.S. National Security Agency is attempting to build a new breed of supercomputer that theoretically could make short work of cracking most keys used for encrypted communications. The project to ...

A lot has been made about a post-quantum computer future in which traditional encryption methods have suddenly been rendered ...

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to ...

With the frequency and severity of malware attacks growing practically every day, the files and folders on our computers have never been more at risk. Sure, there have been solutions for strong ...

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone-- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data. The ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic ...

The 8-bit Rabbit 4000 leaps over the current Rabbit 3000. Developed by Rabbit Semiconductor, this low-EMI (under 10 dB µV/m at 3 m) device adds a host of new instructions with support for 16- and ...
