Programmers are human, but mathematics is immortal. By making programming more mathematical, a community of computer scientists is hoping to eliminate the coding bugs that can open doors to hackers, ...

Two University of Illinois at Chicago math professors have just embarked on a not-so-secret mission: write a textbook that teaches cryptography and coding theory to middle-school students in a way ...

Coding theory and cryptography are interwoven fields that lie at the heart of secure communication and reliable data storage. The discipline of coding theory focuses on the design and analysis of ...

From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

This is the third installment in Reason's four-part documentary series titled "Cypherpunks Write Code." Watch the complete series here. In 1977, a team of cryptographers at MIT made an astonishing ...

In the context of cryptography, a public key is an alphanumeric string that serves as an essential component of asymmetric encryption algorithms. It is typically derived from a private key, which must ...
