Encryption is basically jumbling of your data in a format that is unreadable. So that, even if a hacker is able to fetch your data, they won’t be able to make sense of it. Device Encryption takes the ...

Chinese boffins have used a D-Wave quantum computer to mount a successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms. The advance, led by Wang Chao of Shanghai University, poses a “real and ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

What just happened? Let's Encrypt began issuing free TLS certificates in 2015. After becoming the world's largest certificate authority, the nonprofit is now targeting niche use cases – such as ...

Let's Encrypt will begin revoking certain SSL/TLS certificates issued within the last 90 days due to a bug, starting January 28, 2022. The move could impact millions of active Let's Encrypt ...

Computer scientists in India have cracked an age-old mathematical problem by designing a method for computers to quickly prove whether a figure is a prime number--a vital step in cryptography. RSA, a ...
