Chinese boffins have used a D-Wave quantum computer to mount a successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms. The advance, led by Wang Chao of Shanghai University, poses a “real and ...

You may have seen some VPN providers boasting about using AES-256 encryption, but it’s not immediately apparent what this means or how it helps keep your data safe. Essentially, VPNs use encryption to ...

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone-- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data. The ...

The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

Australia is standing at the edge of a technological shift that could redefine cyber resilience. With quantum computing on the horizon, the very foundations of data security are under threat. While ...
