The mathematics protecting communications since before the internet remain our strongest defense against machine-speed ...

In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

How do ZK-STARKs improve cryptographic resilience? Learn why these zero-knowledge proofs are quantum-resistant, require no ...

Researchers at Penn Engineering have created a chip that outstrips the security and robustness of existing quantum communications hardware. Their technology communicates in "qudits," doubling the ...

Post-quantum security revolves around staying in the race because when quantum arrives, it won’t send a warning. Those who ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

So far in this chapter we have focused on the choice of a single class of algorithms, hashes, as a way to get the most performance out of our security. While hashes are extremely useful for a wide ...

Modern software systems rely on patching and updates as flaws are found. Famed venture capitalist Marc Andreessen coined the phrase, “Software is eating the world” in a Wall Street Journal op-ed back ...

In the end, critical infrastructure’s biggest quantum risk is the outdated, manual trust models of today. Only by replacing ...

Toshiba Corporation will start verification testing of the transmission of genome analysis data using quantum cryptography that is theoretically completely secure from tapping. Testing will start on ...

As quantum computing advances, traditional encryption faces growing risks from powerful new algorithms. In a bid to address these issues, a government-owned company in China has introduced what it ...

Andreas Poppe at the University of Vienna and colleagues at ARC Seibersdorf Research in Austria and Ludwig-Maximillians University in Germany used an entangled-state quantum cryptography system that ...
