Public key encryption has long been a cornerstone in securing digital communications, allowing messages to be encrypted with a recipient’s publicly available key while only being decrypted by the ...

Public Key Cryptography offers ultimate security being based asymmetric keys; however it does have a specific purpose and is often not a replacement of symmetric crypto algorithms like AES. This ...

Public key encryption with equality test (PKEET) represents a significant advance in cryptographic research. This technology allows a designated tester to determine whether two independently generated ...

As a Bitcoiner, you’re going to need a secure way to communicate privately, without relying on a company to encrypt your data for you. For example, freely available methods with end-to-end encryption ...

The fundamental problem of private communication is ensuring its security. That’s always been a tricky task but in recent years, cryptographers have added a powerful new weapon to their armoury: ...

In September of 1974, when he was 30 years old, Whitfield Diffie was obsessed with cryptography. So obsessed that he was criss-crossing the country trying to talk to anyone who could help him expand ...

We don’t know when, but it will happen: Quantum computers will become so powerful that all existing public-key cryptography protections will be quickly crackable. According to Dr. Mark Jackson of ...

Microsoft announced today the first public preview of a new Microsoft 365 security feature named Double Key Encryption. "Double Key Encryption enables you to protect your highly sensitive data while ...

Encryption is one of the pillars of modern-day communications. You have devices that use encryption all the time, even if you are not aware of it. There are so many applications and systems using it ...

Message privacy, increasingly important to Bitcoiners, can be achieved with public and private key cryptography. As a Bitcoiner, you’re going to need a secure way to communicate privately, without ...
