The algorithm is known as HAWK. It’s a digital signature scheme designed to withstand future attacks from quantum computers.

Encryption is a cornerstone of digital security, but can be pretty difficult to understand, especially for all of us non-math people. Generally speaking, encryption safeguards sensitive data from ...

In a new approach to security that unites technology and art, EPFL researchers have combined silver nanostructures with polarized light to yield a range of brilliant colors, which can be used to ...

Cryptography is something of a new field for Olivier Martin, who has been studying the optics of nanostructures for many years as head of the Nanophotonics and Metrology Lab EPFL’s School of ...

The big picture: Encryption is a feature that is typically only used on higher performing devices because of the delays it can cause. Google's new Adiantum adaptation of existing encryption methods ...

A group of Chinese researchers has claimed to be able to break a widely used encryption scheme with a quantum computer that already exists, creating a possible boon for surveillance and a crisis for ...
