Ever since writing has existed, people have wanted to send secret messages to one another--and others have wanted to intercept and read them. This is the second installment of a blog series taking you ...

The trouble with encryption is that everyone needs it, and every threat actor wants to break it. Thankfully, current cryptographic techniques are still at least one step ahead of the cracking curve.

An unlikely combination of interests -- cartoons and math -- has inspired a sophomore at the University of Dayton to develop a new, and potentially unbreakable, encryption technology. Jason R.

In theory, we've had this licked for hundreds of years. We've long known how to create totally unbreakable encryption, ciphers so strong that no amount of modern supercomputing power could brute force ...
