Quantum computing has surged in popularity recently, with its revolutionary computational capabilities transforming the technology sector. While some are skeptical of its real-world potential, others are more visionary about its future. In this Help Ne…
Polymorphic encryption is a more advanced encryption method: By adding a layer of complexity to standard encryption, the algorithm is more difficult for hackers to recognize and further prevents cyber-criminals from accessing sensitive, encrypted data.
The post What Is Polymorphic Encryption? appeared first on Adam Levin.
“The waiting time for general purpose quantum computers is getting shorter, but they are still probably decades away,” notes Security Week.
But “The arrival of cryptanalytically-relevant quantum computers that will herald the cryptopocalypse will be …
There’s a new, more secure way to encrypt files in Windows 11, but it’s only an option for building secure applications, not a replacement for BitLocker.

This is a neat piece of historical research.
The team of computer scientist George Lasry, pianist Norbert Biermann and astrophysicist Satoshi Tomokiyo—all keen cryptographers—initially thought the batch of encoded documents related to Italy, because that was how they were filed at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
However, they quickly realised the letters were in French. Many verb and adjectival forms being feminine, regular mention of captivity, and recurring names—such as Walsingham—all put them on the trail of Mary. Sir Francis Walsingham was Queen Elizabeth’s spymaster…
ASCON is the name of the group of lightweight authenticated encryption and hashing algorithms that the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen to secure the data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices: implanted med…
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that ASCON is the winning bid for the “lightweight cryptography” program to find the best algorithm to protect small IoT (Internet of Things) devices with limited hardware resources. B…
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Motherboard: A section of the UK government has proposed making the sale or possession of bespoke encrypted phones for crime a criminal offense in its own right. The measure is intended to help the country’s law…
Russian antiwar activists placed their faith in Telegram, a supposedly secure messaging app. How does Putin’s regime seem to know their every move? From a report: Matsapulina’s case [anecdote in the story] is hardly an isolated one, though it is especi…
The cryptopocalypse is the point at which quantum computing becomes powerful enough to use Shor’s algorithm to crack PKI encryption.
