Serious Cryptography – A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption written by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, is an incredibly detailed and practical guide to modern encryption, written by one of the ...

Quantum cryptography, a completely secure means of communication, is much closer to being used practically as researchers have now developed high speed detectors capable of receiving information with ...

Large-scale attacks on today’s public-key cryptography aren’t yet practical. But the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat is ...

The conversation around post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has shifted. Organizations are no longer asking whether they should prepare for quantum computing, but how quickly they can execute a migration ...

The Espressif ESP8266 chipset makes three-dollar ‘Internet of Things’ development boards an economic reality. According to the popular automatic firmware-building site nodeMCU-builds, in the last 60 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

Q-day is shorthand for the point when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break widely used public-key cryptography. Preparations for Q-day have drawn comparisons with Y2K, but the ...

In theory and in labs, quantum cryptography — cryptography based on the laws of physics rather than traditional, computational difficulty — has been around for years. Advancements in science and in ...
