Scientists at Northwestern University say they have harnessed the properties of light to encrypt information into code that can be cracked only one way: by breaking the physical laws of nature. This ...

Cryptography can mean either the analysis or the deciphering of codes, ciphers and cryptograms. Also known as: cryptanalysis, cryptanalytics, cryptology. First Seen1900 B.C. Cryptography is a method ...

I have a long and tattered history with cryptography. Ever since I learned about Bob and Alice I was smitten. I knew it was important because cryptographic algorithms could be used to protect ...

A private key, also known as a secret key, is a cryptographic key that is used to decrypt or digitally sign data. It is a crucial component in asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC ...

An unpatchable vulnerability has been discovered in Apple's M-series chips that allows attackers to extract secret encryption keys from Macs under certain conditions, according to a newly published ...

Hardware faults are leaking hundreds of supposedly unbreakable encryption keys on to the internet, researchers have found – and spy agencies may be exploiting the loophole to read secret messages. RSA ...
