Overheard at RSA Conference 2024: Top trends cybersecurity experts are talking about

At a brunch roundtable, one of the many informal events held during the RSA Conference 2024 (RSAC), the conversation turned to the most popular trends and themes at this year’s events. There was no disagreement in what people presenting sessions or companies on the Expo show floor were talking about: RSAC 2024 is all about […]

How to allow users to securely use their private key to decrypt data in the browser [duplicate]

I’m working on an application where encrypted data can be stored on the server. Users can do this by obtaining public keys from the server, and use them to encrypt data locally before sending it to the server. This encryption feature provi… Continue reading How to allow users to securely use their private key to decrypt data in the browser [duplicate]

Web Browser and server using ECDHE_RSA cypher suite, then what is the use of X.509 certificate public key for?

User Crover has given a very great explanation for this question:
RSA or ECDHE for x.509 certificates-what does each do?
I have one question to Crover and/or any other member.
What I understand from the Crover’s answer, if client (a Web Br… Continue reading Web Browser and server using ECDHE_RSA cypher suite, then what is the use of X.509 certificate public key for?

Improving Shor’s Algorithm

We don’t have a useful quantum computer yet, but we do have quantum algorithms. Shor’s algorithm has the potential to factor large numbers faster than otherwise possible, which—if the run times are actually feasible—could break both the RSA and Diffie-Hellman public-key algorithms.

Now, computer scientist Oded Regev has a significant speed-up to Shor’s algorithm, at the cost of more storage.

Details are in this article. Here’s the result:

The improvement was profound. The number of elementary logical steps in the quantum part of Regev’s algorithm is proportional to …
