IBM, Intel, AMD take different routes to hardware-based encryption
So-called confidential computing approaches allow data to remain encrypted while in use. That's best done in hardware, and IBM, AMD and Intel are following different paths, each with its own trade-offs.
Mathematical Mesh alpha release promises better end-to-end encryption
Web pioneer proposes a new cryptographic system that relies on threshold key infrastructure to improve end-to-end encryption.
DNSSEC explained: Why you might want to implement it on your domain
The Domain Name System Security Extensions provide cryptographic authentication to prevent redirection to rogue websites, but owners of many domains have yet to adopt it.
Google Cloud steps up security and compliance for applications, government
New Google Cloud offerings Confidential VMs and Assured Workloads for Government provide in-process data encryption and the ability to restrict storage locations, respectively.
New Republican bill latest in long line to force encryption backdoors
Here we go again. Senate Republicans push a new bill to mandate "lawful access" to encrypted devices and data. It won't end until law enforcement has better cyber forensics capabilities.
14 IT certifications that will survive and thrive in the pandemic
These tech certifications not only have high value now, but employers will continue to value them as the coronavirus continues.
What is PKI? And how it secures just about everything online
Public key infrastructure (PKI) is a catch-all term for everything used to establish and manage public key encryption, one of the most common forms of internet encryption. It is baked into every web browser in use today to secure...
How close are we to breaking encryption with quantum computing?
Not as close as you might fear, but quantum encryption cracking is on its way. So, it's time to start getting ready for it.
8 video chat apps compared: Which is best for security?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Duo, Cisco Webex, FaceTime, Jitsi, Signal and WhatsApp. What does their encryption look like? What are the trade-offs?
Is the EARN-IT Act a backdoor attempt to get encryption backdoors?
New bipartisan US legislation to fight online child exploitation incentivizes companies to drop end-to-end encryption, critics say.
The race for quantum-proof cryptography
Lawmakers briefed on quantum computing’s threat to encryption and the urgent need for mathematical research.
Has the quantum crypto break already happened?
Better quantum algorithms and a strange silence since last year from quantum computing researchers suggest that we are closer to breaking traditional encryption than most people believe.
US Department of Justice push for encryption backdoors might run afoul of First Amendment
Is encryption code speech? Earlier court rulings suggest that it is, legally, and therefore subject to First Amendment protections.
Justice Department takes another run at encryption backdoors with ‘lawful access’
Law enforcement officials and experts on the distribution of child pornography gathered on Friday to make the emotional, if not technological, case that tech companies should open up their encryption schemes to police investigating...
Quantum supremacy might be here, upending conventional encryption
Last week Google posted and quickly took down a report announcing a stunning quantum computing milestone. Regardless of whether the report was premature, conventional encryption’s days are numbered.
The top 5 email encryption tools: More capable, better integrated
Most of the email encryption solution vendors have broadened the scope of their products to include anti-phishing, anti-spam, and data loss prevention (DLP).
How MIT's Fiat Cryptography might make the web more secure
By automating the writing of cryptographic algorithms, Fiat Cryptography can remove errors, produce more secure code, and boost performance.
Review: How Barac ETV analyzes encrypted data streams
Barac’s Encrypted Traffic Visibility Platform can halt encrypted attacks — without breaking the encryption. In our tests, the results seemed mostly instantaneous.
