Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of three widely used encryption algorithms, namely AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), RC (Rivest Cipher), and Twofish, with a focus on their ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...

A view of NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md. (Photo credit: NIST) The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced an algorithm that could serve as a second line of defense to ensure ...

I've opened issue #894 but it has been closed with no attention, it looks that my suspicious is justified. What about add more secure ciphers/encryption algorithms like twofish, serpent, kuznyechik to ...
