BitLocker encrypts your hard drive and requires a key to decrypt it. Microsoft may give your key to law enforcement upon a valid request. Don't save your key to the cloud; instead, store it locally or ...

Privacy advocates are worried about the precedent this sets and the potential for abuse. Privacy advocates are worried about the precedent this sets and the potential ...

Swift Homomorphic Encryption implements a special form of cryptography called homomorphic encryption (HE). HE is a cryptosystem which enables computation on encrypted data. The computation is ...

The pace of cloud adoption is relentless. Companies across every industry are racing to move their infrastructures to scalable, flexible, cloud-native environments. But as organizations go all-in on ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

Optalysys, a U.K.-based startup focused on secure computing, has introduced what it claims to be the world’s first server for blockchains that can process data at scale without decrypting it. The firm ...

A researcher from the Google Quantum AI research team has estimated that a quantum computer with less than a million noisy qubits could undermine the security of RSA-2048 encryption that secures ...

Current standards call for using a 2,048-bit encryption key. Over the past several years, research has suggested that quantum computers would one day be able to crack RSA encryption, but because ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, ...
