Abstract: This paper presents a lightweight hardware accelerator optimized for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), supporting three standardized curves over the prime field GF($2^{255}-19$ ): ...

A research team from China have proposed a new, experimentally feasible, method to encrypt messages using the principles of quantum mechanics Quantum computers are set to revolutionise cryptography, ...

The company claims the new communication feature is end-to-end encrypted, meaning messages exchanged on it can only be read by the sender and their receiver, and — in theory — no one else, including X ...

Naoris, a cybersecurity firm focused on safeguarding digital assets from quantum computing threats, is offering bounties to anyone who can break the encryption algorithms that secure major blockchain ...

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 ...

Update (June 4, 2025, 6:45 am UTC): This article has been updated to add commentary by crypto lawyer Michael Bacina. Malikie Innovations, a firm that acquired tens of thousands of patents from ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...
