Two University of Illinois at Chicago math professors have just embarked on a not-so-secret mission: write a textbook that teaches cryptography and coding theory to middle-school students in a way ...

Coding theory and cryptography are interwoven fields that lie at the heart of secure communication and reliable data storage. The discipline of coding theory focuses on the design and analysis of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on ...

Trail of Bits has developed constant-time coding support for LLVM 21, providing developers with compiler-level guarantees that their cryptographic implementations remain secure against ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...
