Quantum computing is a completely new paradigm for computers. A quantum computer uses quantum properties such as superposition, which allows a qubit (a quantum bit) to be neither 0...
Read moreSIKE is one of the new algorithms that NIST recently added to the post-quantum cryptography competition.
It was just broken, really badly.
We present an efficient key recovery...

ENCSecurity markets a file encryption system, and it’s used by SanDisk, Sony, Lexar, and probably others. Despite it using AES as its algorithm, its implementation is flawed in multiple...
Read moreBasically, the SafeZone library doesn’t sufficiently randomize the two prime numbers it used to generate RSA keys. They’re too close to each other, which makes them vulnerable to...
Read moreResearchers have found a major encryption flaw in 100 million Samsung Galaxy phones.
From the abstract:
In this work, we expose the cryptographic design and implementation of Android’s Hardware-Backed Keystore...

Nice piece of research:
Abstract: Among the many types of malicious codes, ransomware poses a major threat. Ransomware encrypts data and demands a ransom in exchange for decryption. As...

Bunnie Huang has created a Plausibly Deniable Database.
Most security schemes facilitate the coercive processes of an attacker because they disclose metadata about the secret data, such as the...

Late last year, the NSA declassified and released a redacted version of Lambros D. Callimahos’s Military Cryptanalytics, Part III. We just got most of the index. It’s hard to...
