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

The JVG algorithm factors RSA and ECC keys using fewer quantum resources than Shor’s algorithm, accelerating the time needed ...

Today, PKC forms the foundation for e-commerce, allowing more than US$1 trillion per day in foreign exchange transactions in North America alone. 10 This technology also allows electronic banking, ...

We all keep secrets. Whether you are trying to protect messages to loved ones, company accounts or vital state intelligence, the technology that allows you peace of mind in our increasingly online ...

So, you’ve probably heard a lot of buzz lately about quantum computers and how they might break RSA encryption. It sounds pretty scary, right? Like the internet as we know it is about to crumble. But ...

Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, the latest of which reports new estimates ...

The RSA algorithm is based on the mathematical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers. It involves generating a public and private key pair, where the public key is used for ...

One day soon, at a research lab near Santa Barbara or Seattle or a secret facility in the Chinese mountains, it will begin: the sudden unlocking of the world’s secrets. Your secrets. Cybersecurity ...

Abstract: We propose a public-key encryption algorithm based on torus automorphisms, which is secure, practical, and can be used for both encryption and digital signature. Software implementation and ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For thousands of years, if you wanted to send a secret message, there was basically one way to do it. You’d scramble the message using a ...
