AES-256 remains the gold standard for high-stakes data encryption. While other, more lightweight and less-energy-intensive encryption methods do exist, they operate with multiple trade-offs in ...

(Nanowerk News) Metasurfaces, composed of nanoresonator arrays with tailored structure and subwavelength feature size, show the potential of manipulating various degrees of freedom for manipulating ...

A group of Chinese researchers has claimed to be able to break a widely used encryption scheme with a quantum computer that already exists, creating a possible boon for surveillance and a crisis for ...

Encryption is a cornerstone of digital security, but can be pretty difficult to understand, especially for all of us non-math people. Generally speaking, encryption safeguards sensitive data from ...

From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...

Security teams are torn between the quest to encrypt everything and the technical feasibility of doing so. The advantage of encryption is that it obscures data, even after a breach, and satisfies ...

Eruces Data Security has secured a patent for its three-step encryption and key management scheme, which is designed to lock down data through its lifecycle. The security firm’s so-called Tricryption ...

Microsoft has finally decided to discontinue the RC4 encryption method that has been supported by default in Windows for 26 years. By eliminating this old technology, which has been the target of ...

(Nanowerk News) Cryptography is something of a new field for Olivier Martin, who has been studying the optics of nanostructures for many years as head of the Nanophotonics and Metrology Lab EPFL’s ...

In a new approach to security that unites technology and art, E researchers have combined silver nanostructures with polarized light to yield a range of brilliant colors, which can be used to encode ...
