Back in July, NIST selected third-round algorithms for its post-quantum cryptography standard. Recently, Daniel Apon of NIST gave a talk detailing the selection criteria.

This "Selection round" will help the agency decide on the small subset of these algorithms that will form the core of the first post-quantum cryptography standard. "At the end of this round, we will choose some algorithms and standardize them," said NIST mathematician Dustin Moody.

NIST has now begun the third round of public review. This "Selection round" will help the agency decide on the small subset of these algorithms that will form the core of the first post-quantum cryptography standard.

Futurex's VirtuCrypt financial cloud HSM service supports financial services organizations' critical payment systems cryptography and key management needs in the cloud. VirtuCrypt cloud HSMs are the industry's first financial cloud cryptographic solution with native Amazon Web Services support.

Intertrust announced the launch of whiteCryption Secure Key Box for Web at the RSA Conference 2020. The first and only enterprise-ready white-box cryptography solution for web applications, it ensures that web apps can be used without fear of exposing the underlying keys and credentials to cyberattack.

Researchers are attempting to develop new forms of cryptography that could not be cracked by powerful quantum computing devices that are in the works. That requires devising public key cryptosystems based on computational problems that are difficult to break even using quantum algorithms, says Divesh Aggarwal, principal investigator at Singapore's Center for Quantum Technologies.

The secure messaging service is looking to address usability issues.

CISOs need to begin investigating the use of quantum-proof cryptography to ensure security is maintained when extremely powerful quantum computers that can crack current encryption are...

My Applied Cryptography is on a list of books banned in Oregon prisons. It's not me -- and it's not cryptography -- it's that the prisons ban books that teach people to code. The subtitle is...
