Android has required that smartphones support storage encryption since Android 6 in 2015, but low-end devices have remained exempt because the demand would significantly impact performance. And ...

For example, NIST published the SHA-0 hashing algorithm in 1993 and replaced it with SHA-1 after a weakness was discovered. Then, doubts about SHA-1 started to emerge in 2005, and Google ...

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further ...

The four selected encryption algorithms will become part of NIST's post-quantum cryptographic standard, expected to be finalized around 2024. This selection marks the beginning of NIST's post ...

For example, the time to crack an RSA-2048 bit encryption key using today's most powerful traditional computing resources is estimated around the 300-trillion-year mark.

Cases of encryption being used instead of hashing for passwords do happen. In 2013, Adobe suffered a security breach that resulted in information from millions of accounts being stolen, including ...

It's 2008, and companies perhaps rich on VC money to waste in a guerilla marketing tactic for generating viral buzz, still talk and act as the utopian "unbreakable encryption" algorithm is the ...

The first public key encryption algorithm: RSA The first algorithms using asymmetric keys were devised in secret by the British government's SIGINT agency, GCHQ, in 1973.
