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).
The developers behind the Tor network have announced a major upcoming change. The free overlay network, which enables anonymous communication on the web, will soon adopt ...
A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...
One of the potential encryption algorithms that was a serious candidate to be used in the quantum computing world has been defeated worryingly simply. The algorithm in question is called SIKE ...
