By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the mid-1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard invented an encryption technology that could theoretically never be ...
An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking work on quantum key cryptography.
With the second iOS 26.4 beta, Apple and Google have started testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages exchanged between iPhone and Android users. Apple started testing E2EE for RCS in the ...
A new study published in Nature has found that X's algorithm—the hidden system or "recipe" that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order—shifts users' political opinions in a more ...
Apple’s latest iOS 26.4 beta is now available for iPhone owners, with an added perk for RCS messaging – end-to-end encryption. But, unfortunately, that doesn’t work with Android yet. Within the ...
A new encryption initiative from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) urges large technology and communications companies to follow through on previously made data and privacy protection promises ...
The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...
In 1997, the two Belgian researchers created an algorithm they called Rijndael, a portmanteau of their names, which not long after – in 2001 in the U.S. and 2005 elsewhere – would become the ...
TikTok has reached a deal that will allow it to keep operating in the United States, with a majority American-owned joint venture, but the terms could change the algorithm for users in the U.S. The ...
In 2023, the website then known as Twitter partially open sourced its algorithm for the first time. In those days, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk had only recently acquired the platform, and he claimed ...
X is revamping the algorithm that ranks posts in the "For You" feed. The engineering team said it will post changes to the algorithm on GitHub every four weeks, including explainers on changes. The ...
