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

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 ...

Raw code for "unbreakable" encryption, based on the principles of quantum physics, has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Data encryption refers to the process of transforming electronic information into a scrambled form that can only be read by someone who knows how to translate the code. Encryption was already used by ...

Two things jump to mind when it comes to encryption: It's a must-have for secure military installations, and it's a huge headache to implement among everyone else. Encryption's reputation as a ...

Raw code for “unbreakable” encryption, based on the principles of quantum physics, has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards ...

It was only a matter of time before we learned that the NSA has managed to thwart much of the encryption that protects telephone and online communication, but new revelations show the extent to which ...

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 ...
