Public and private key cryptography is a powerful solution. The former (asymmetric cryptography) involves a pair of keys that ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

Researchers have reached a new milestone in the annals of cryptography with the factoring of the largest RSA key size ever computed and a matching computation of the largest-ever integer discrete ...

Encryption is the process of converting readable data, known as plaintext, into a jumbled string of data called ciphertext. Encryption algorithms use mathematical operations to scrabble data, making ...

Ron Steinfeld receives funding from the Australian Research Council. When checking your email over a secure connection, or making a purchase from an online retailer, have you ever wondered how your ...

Encryption is a term that many of us have come across, but what does it mean? To put it simply, encryption is the encoding of information. Various online services use it to keep your data private and ...

Every day, we are creating and sharing data at an astounding rate. With each email, text, tweet, tap and stream, more data is available for companies to collect and use, and without sufficient ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...
