The Rijndael algorithm, created by Daemen and Rijmen in 1997, has become the international standard for encrypting data, safeguarding websites, laptops, mobile phones, and more. Its security has withstood 25 years of attacks, making it a crucial backbone of trust in the digital world.
A team of researchers from Télécom Paris and Politecnico di Milano has developed a system of optical micro-antennas integrated into a programmable photonic chip, which can adapt in real time to restore chaotic signals. This innovation paves the way for chaos-based encryption for secure high-speed communication in hostile environments.
A team of researchers from Ritsumeikan University developed an unprecedented stream cipher using chaos theory to create highly secure cryptographic systems. The new system is resistant to statistical attacks and eavesdropping, even against quantum computers, making it a promising solution for post-quantum era cryptosystems.
Researchers have developed a federated analytics system, FAMHE, that enables healthcare providers to collaborate on statistical analyses and machine learning models without exchanging underlying datasets. The system has been proven mathematically secure and accurately reproduced published studies in multi-centric settings.

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new communication protocol that offers ultimate privacy protection by adding artificial noise to information about the crypto key. This allows for security guarantees even in cases where devices are unknown entities, overcoming a significant obstacle to experimental implementation.
The European PQCRYPTO consortium is developing technology to resist quantum computer attacks, targeting small devices and cloud storage for the next three years. Post-quantum cryptography could protect sensitive data like health records or top-secret documents with confidentiality requirements over 10 years.
The evolutionary block cipher outperforms known cryptosystems in resisting both linear and differential attacks by introducing evolving encryption algorithms. This design feature enhances the system's security and efficiency, making it a promising solution for modern cryptography.
A new approach based on mathematical theory of elliptic curves has emerged as a leading candidate for more efficient cryptography. Elliptic curve cryptography provides the same level of security as 1024-bit keys for RSA with smaller key sizes, making it computationally more efficient.
