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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Internet encryption pioneer Phil Zimmermann has expanded his software solution to encrypt voice communications over the Internet to include the widely-used Windows PC platform. The Zfone Voice over ...

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 ...
