In the 1970s, some basic ideas in supposedly useless number theory were deployed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman. They developed the RSA algorithm, which enables public key cryptography, ...

Every time you send a text, pay for groceries with your phone, or use your health site, you are relying on encryption.

Your phone's encryption is about to become obsolete. Samsung just future-proofed it. The Exynos 2600, announced December 19, 2025, is the world's first ...

Quantum computing, a type of quantum technology, is poised to address pressing challenges in the healthcare sector.

Today, PKC forms the foundation for e-commerce, allowing more than US$1 trillion per day in foreign exchange transactions in North America alone. 10 This technology also allows electronic banking, ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...
