Both asymmetric and symmetric encryption are being used by businesses to protect their information. But what are the differences? Read to find out.

Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

Many organizations are using quantum technology, and specifically, quantum key distribution, to create encryption schemes that are much more difficult to break or gain access to.

SIKE was a contender for post-quantum-computing encryption. It took researchers an hour and a single PC to break it.

The US now has four post-quantum cryptographic algorithms it plans to make part of a new set of public-key cryptography standards by 2024.

Post-quantum encryption contender is taken out by single-core PC and 1 hour Leave it to mathematicians to muck up what looked like an impressive new algorithm.

Europe plans to launch Eagle-1, the first space-based quantum key distribution system for the European Union, in 2024, which could lead to an ultrasecure communications network.
