Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...

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 ...

Quantum computers can't crack regular VPN encryption just yet, but what happens when that changes?

Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack* Ultra-secure encryption algorithm added to ISO standard for Asymmetric ...

Krishi specializes in making complex tech topics, like VPNs, cybersecurity, and online privacy, clear and accessible. With 5+ years of writing experience, his work appears in outlets such as TechRadar ...

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...
