Welcome to Part 3 in my series on protecting your computer from prying eyes (Part 1, Part 2). In today's segment, we will be going over drive encryption using the TrueCrypt program on Windows OS.

To ensure that data is kept safe and secure, all new computers are delivered with full disk encryption enabled, and computers in use prior to the data encryption initiative will be manually encrypted ...

The U.S. National Security Agency is attempting to build a new breed of supercomputer that theoretically could make short work of cracking most keys used for encrypted communications. The project to ...

Mobile devices sometimes get lost. A laptop bag gets left on the bus or train, a smartphone slips out of your pocket, or a USB flash drive falls to the ground unnoticed. Losing a notebook or phone ...

Encryption can protect your data from crooks, but if you don't have a recovery key stored securely, it can also keep you out ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology today said it has chosen four encryption tools designed to protect against quantum computer attacks for a planned ...

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid ...

In 2018, Aayush Jain, a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles, traveled to Japan to give a talk about a powerful cryptographic tool he and his colleagues were developing. As he ...

Chinese boffins have used a D-Wave quantum computer to mount a successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms. The advance, led by Wang Chao of Shanghai University, poses a “real and ...

Active Cypher built a mini-quantum computer (repurposed hardware running quantum algorithms) to prove that conventional encryption (RSA + AES) is nearing the end. This is designed to be a wake-up call ...
