Yet encryption is no longer just about making data unreadable. Modern systems must also be fast enough to keep pace with ...

An international team of researchers has tested a new form of quantum cryptography that could lead to the ultimate standard in secure communications with real-world devices. It is based on quantum key ...

Encryption is a cornerstone of digital security, but can be pretty difficult to understand, especially for all of us non-math people. Generally speaking, encryption safeguards sensitive data from ...

Nowadays data breaches aren’t rare shocks – they’re a weekly drumbeat. From leaked customer records to stolen source code, our digital lives keep spilling into the open. Git services are especially ...

Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to work on innovative new ways to encrypt information. One such method is ...

In a new approach to security that unites technology and art, EPFL researchers have combined silver nanostructures with polarized light to yield a range of brilliant colors, which can be used to ...

Cryptography is something of a new field for Olivier Martin, who has been studying the optics of nanostructures for many years as head of the Nanophotonics and Metrology Lab EPFL’s School of ...
