Quantum Computing and Cryptography

Quantum computing is a new way of computing -- one that could allow humankind to perform computations that are simply impossible using today's computing technologies. It allows for very fast searching, something that would break some of the encryption algorithms we use today. And it allows us to...

[SECURITY] Fedora 28 Update: units-2.17-5.fc28

Units converts an amount from one unit to another, or tells you what mathematical operation you need to perform to convert from one unit to another. The units program can handle multiplicative scale changes as well as conversions such as Fahrenheit to Celsius...

Carry Propagation

bouncycastle is vulnerable to carry propagation bugs. This bug caused mathematical miscalculations during static Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman which in rare cases for it to miscalculate elliptic curve scalar multiplication. This allows a malicious user in certain cases to obtain the key...

NIST Calls for Submissions to Secure Data Against Quantum Computing

For a layman, it may be difficult to fathom how a standards body could be playing catch-up to a threat that could be at least a decade away. But that’s the position NIST finds itself in with the risk that quantum computers pose to existing cryptographic algorithms. Working, practical quantum...
