Symmetric-key encryption is what people usually think of as encryption. It allows data and messages to be scrambled using a “key” so they are indecipherable to anyone without the key.

It is designed for general encryption and part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selection of algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.

The researchers used a 1997 math theorem to look for weaknesses in a set of encryption algorithms. The information security situation is constantly changing due to the rise of quantum computing ...

Companies working on sensitive projects for the US government may soon be required to use encryption algorithms that protect their data and technology from quantum computer attacks. In July, the ...

RSA and other encryption algorithms have been in use for decades with no known ways for them to be broken. Over the years, that track record has led to confidence that they are safe for use.

The library, started in 2006, provides operations and algorithms developers can use to safely implement secure encryption, decryption, signing, verification, hashing, and key exchange in the apps ...
