Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption. Celeste ...

Published at the 2021 IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium, the paper states that the myriad security tools available typically examine specific pieces of code rather than an algorithm itself.

15 genius algorithms that aren’t boringUsing an algorithm they devised, the research team can quickly measure how virulent worms are and halt their spread while keeping the false-positive rate ...

Given enough time and computer power genetic algorithms can solve many issues that took centuries to solve and find solutions to problems outside of current human comprehension.

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

The findings, published in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, present a way to protect sensitive videos from rare but extremely powerful computers.

Microsoft updates on its post-quantum cyber strategy as it continues integrating quantum-safe algorithms into some of the ...

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

Agencies should test post-quantum cryptography algorithms with their software and decide whether information security benefits outweigh the efficiency losses ahead of a federally mandated transition, ...
