The new algorithm behaves well on a much broader range. “I’m really happy someone did it,” said Thomas Espitau, a cryptography researcher at the company PQShield and an author of the 2021 ...

One important tool in this work is the LLL algorithm, named after the researchers who published it in 1982 — Arjen Lenstra, Hendrik Lenstra Jr. and László Lovász. LLL, along with its many descendants, ...

The algorithm they presented in 1976, known as Diffie-Hellman, introduced the general notion of what is now called asymmetric encryption, or public-key cryptography.

Cryptographic algorithms are what keep us safe online, protecting our privacy and securing the transfer of information. But many experts fear that quantum computers could one day break these ...

Enter the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. agency that has rallied the world’s cryptography experts to conceive, submit, and then evaluate cryptographic algorithms that ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Cryptography (NIST) released three highly anticipated post-quantum cryptography algorithm standards in August. These standards can be used to “secure a ...

The first, named Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 203 is a general encryption standard based on the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm, renamed to Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation ...

Windows 11’s most important new feature is post-quantum cryptography. Here’s why. For the first time, new quantum-safe algorithms can be invoked using standard Windows APIs.

The security community is working toward cryptographic encryption that can withstand post-quantum threats as quantum’s ability to break existing algorithms looms. Here are the latest developments.
