Software developers are usually told to ‘never write your own cryptography’, and there definitely are sufficient examples to be found in the past decades of cases where DIY crypto routines caused real ...

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen ...

After a multi-year competition, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selected a suite of algorithms for standardization. For key exchange, the primary choice is the ...

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 ...

In the previous blog post, “Embedded Security Using Cryptography”, we looked at how cryptography can be used for securing assets in embedded systems and ensure confidentiality, integrity and ...

Every time you send a text, pay for groceries with your phone, or use your health site, you are relying on encryption.

Cryptographers want encryption schemes that are impossible for tomorrow’s quantum computers to crack. There’s only one catch: they might not exist. When we check email, log in to our bank accounts, or ...
