New research estimates that it could be 20 times easier for quantum computers to break current encryption Experts urge software developers to advance their work in developing next-generation ...

Just because you have antivirus software installed on your PC doesn't mean a zero-day Trojan can't steal your personal data. The best encryption software keeps you safe from malware (and the NSA).

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 ...

In a paper published Thursday, researchers illustrated how to access a computer's memory and scan the secret encryption keys used to scramble files. The report, titled "Lest We Remember: Cold Boot ...

Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...

In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...

Encryption is a key component of everyday life for most people, whether messaging on WhatsApp, shopping online, reading articles over a secure HTTPS connection, or protecting their passwords when ...

PCWorld outlines four essential security upgrades for new PCs: verifying Windows encryption settings, optimizing antivirus configurations, enabling biometric login, and setting up dedicated password ...

The secure network component of Finland’s quantum computer project has taken a significant leap forward in the wake of successful ultra-secure novel encryption technology (NET) tests. NET supports the ...

Generally available encryption technologies could help some notoriously data-leaky federal agencies protect sensitive information – if they used it. Of 24 major federal agencies watchdogs at the ...
