A vulnerability in the ‘node-forge’ package, a popular JavaScript cryptography library, could be exploited to bypass signature verifications by crafting data that appears valid. The flaw is tracked as ...

A global group of researchers was unable to read the vote tally, after an official lost one of three secret code keys needed to unlock a hyper-secure election system. By Pranav Baskar For a group of ...

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, ...

Bletchley Park was more than a place — it was a method. During World War II, the United Kingdom combined science, engineering, operations, and alliance management into a unified codebreaking system ...

Chief information security officers (CISOs) have learned to live with uncertainty—supply chain threats, zero-day exploits, and shadow IT. But one of the most dangerous blind spots is also one of the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

Quantum computing presents both a potential breakthrough and a cryptographic threat -- one that Microsoft is tackling through what it calls "progress towards next‑generation cryptography." In a post ...
