A look at the securing mechanisms of the global monetary system millions entrust their value with. I promise that you only need some basic algebra for this, as well as a simple understanding of ...

This chapter excerpted from Hardware Implementation of Finite-Field Arithmetic, gives an example of finite-field application—namely, the implementation of the scalar product (point multiplication) ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...

For thousands of years, if you wanted to send a secret message, there was basically one way to do it. You’d scramble the message using a special rule, known only to you and your intended audience.

Data breaches and exposures have become so common these days, it's difficult to keep track of them all, much less step back to mull a solution. But, perhaps out of necessity, researchers from the ...

Talk of backdoors in encrypted services is once again doing the rounds after reports emerged that the U.K. government is seeking to force Apple to open up iCloud’s end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) device ...

There's a lot to know about encryption, and the ins and outs can get confusing. Here's a rundown of what professionals need to know about this fundamental of modern computing. Data: It’s everywhere, ...

An end-to-end strategy must factor in all the ways the data can be input and output, as well as how it’s stored Here’s a sobering prediction: One-third of all adults in the United States will have ...

Device security requires designers to secure their algorithms, not only against direct attacks on the input and output, but also against side-channel attacks. This requirement is especially notable ...
