In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...

Recently, Professor Guilu Long, Dr. Zeguo Wang, Dr. Shijie Wei from Tsinghua University and Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences, and Professor Lajos Hanzo from the University of ...

Attackers are recording, and sometimes forging, vast volumes of human communication. Some of this communication is protected by cryptographic systems such as the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) system and ...

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 data ...

How would you react if you knew that all your constituents' information is now readable and available to the highest bidder? Since the proliferation of the Internet and digitization of government ...

The U.S. Department of War (DoW) has announced plans to transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to safeguard its ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

We don’t know when, but it will happen: Quantum computers will become so powerful that all existing public-key cryptography protections will be quickly crackable. According to Dr. Mark Jackson of ...

Once quantum computers become a commercial reality, they will change the ground rules for cryptography. Here's how quantum cryptography would work, and an explanation of the benefits and pitfalls of ...
