The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has debuted three encryption algorithms that it claims will help safeguard critical data from cyber attacks originating from quantum ...

For more than 40 years, we have been building the modern internet on foundations that were never designed for the world we live in today. When the architects of the early internet created its ...

Cryptographer Horst Feistel ’37 spearheaded the work leading to encryption standards used during the 20th century. On March 17, 1975, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) published its proposed Data ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

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 ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...

Cryptographic algorithms can be roughly classified in two categories: Encryption algorithms transform an input file into an output file from which it is (quite) impossible to recover the original ...
