Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text ...

What does encryption algorithm actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Paul Smith-Goodson explores the end-to-end features and capabilities of IBM Quantum Safe Technology and examines its usefulness in identifying non-quantum-safe encryption and replacing them with ...

Quantum computing is a catalyst for rethinking how organizations govern, secure and manage cryptographic systems.

This tactic has a name: “harvest now, decrypt later.” ...

RSA — An asymmetric encryption algorithm, RSA is one of the oldest and most widely used standards for data encryption online. It is relatively slow, but it is regarded as very secure.

With experts suggesting that quantum computers will decrypt public key algorithms by 2030, quantum risk cryptography is becoming vital.

Once quantum computers become functional, experts warn, they could perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers—potentially enabling them to destroy the encryption that ...
