Cryptography is just about as old as written communication itself, and mathematics has long supplied methods for the cryptographic toolbox. Starting in the 1970s, increasingly sophisticated ...

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient quantum computers can be manufactured in near future, many of the current ...

Apple says testing missed flaws in new encryption designed to protect against future attacks from quantum computers, so it ...

A graduate student recently harnessed the complexity of mathematical proofs to create a powerful new tool in cryptography.

A simple geometric idea has been used to power advances in information theory, cryptography and even blockchain technology. But while the work has generated a lot of excitement among pure ...
