When that break occurs, the mathematics behind the code moves instantly. Organizations, however, do not move so fast.

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 ...

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...
