It all begins with mathematics really - the one true scientific language, so they say. Cryptography has been around as early as 4000 years ago, doing what it still does today - ensuring that secrets ...

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient quantum computers can be manufactured in near future, many of the current ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Math PhD student Daniel Cabarcas studies polynomials to help fight the algebraic attacks that threaten computer security. Data security. It’s a chief concern in a society that ...

A simple geometric idea has been used to power advances in information theory, cryptography and even blockchain technology. But while the work has generated a lot of excitement among pure ...

Newly written code, called the Generalized Knapsack Code, could thwart hackers armed with next generation quantum computers. The encryption codes that safeguard internet data today won't be secure ...

An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking ...

Quantum cryptography is back in the news, and the basic idea is still unbelievably cool, in theory, and nearly useless in real life. The idea behind quantum crypto is that two people communicating ...

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Not many people are dedicated to the study and application of quantum-resistant or post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in Taiwan, but one young data scientist at Academia Sinica ...
