One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security. This is premised on the fact that once there is connectivity between computers sharing some resources ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

Encrypting File System provides an added layer of protection by encrypting files or folders on various versions of the Microsoft Windows OS. EFS is a functionality of New Technology File System (NTFS) ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

In today’s digital economy, where organizations rely on cloud computing, mobile technologies and data-driven decision making, securing sensitive information has never been more critical. Encryption ...

A new study suggests that breaking RSA encryption with quantum computers may require 20 times fewer resources than previously thought. Although Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography, it remains ...

Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave‘s quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption RSA, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...

Bottom line: Security researchers have devised a new way to steal cryptographic keys in Secure Shell (SSH) computer-to-server communication. Compromised SSH connections could allow bad actors to ...
