With the frequency and severity of malware attacks growing practically every day, the files and folders on our computers have never been more at risk. Sure, there have been solutions for strong ...

The U.S. National Security Agency is attempting to build a new breed of supercomputer that theoretically could make short work of cracking most keys used for encrypted communications. The project to ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

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 ...

Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

A group of Chinese researchers has claimed to be able to break a widely used encryption scheme with a quantum computer that already exists, creating a possible boon for surveillance and a crisis for ...

To ensure that data is kept safe and secure, all new computers are delivered with full disk encryption enabled, and computers in use prior to the data encryption initiative will be manually encrypted ...
