When it comes to secure messaging, nothing beats quantum cryptography, a method that offers perfect security. Messages sent in this way can never be cracked by an eavesdropper, no matter how powerful.

As quantum computing advances, traditional encryption faces growing risks from powerful new algorithms. In a bid to address these issues, a government-owned company in China has introduced what it ...

In the never-ending arms race between secret-keepers and code-breakers, the laws of quantum mechanics seemed to have the potential to give secret-keepers the upper hand. A technique called quantum ...

Generally, users have no idea which data items their apps are collecting, where they're stored, and whether they're stored securely. Researchers now hope to change that, with an application they're ...

Andreas Poppe at the University of Vienna and colleagues at ARC Seibersdorf Research in Austria and Ludwig-Maximillians University in Germany used an entangled-state quantum cryptography system that ...

TYSONS CORNER, VA, Dec. 20, 2016 — The National Institute of Standards and Technology has awarded Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 certifications for nine Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) ...

I read Geoff Slocombe’s recent post about quantum computing with interest and, I’ll admit, a little skepticism. While there’s no doubt that practical quantum computing would represent a significant ...

An evolution in cryptography has the potential to improve security between the edge and the cloud. A recent paper by Dr Brent Waters, NTT Research Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab ...

Cassidian has launched a new compact variant of its cryptographic family of systems, the Ectocryp Yellow, at the DSEI exhibition in London. The system is designed for a variety of government bodies, ...
