Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought ...

Giancarlo Lelli wins one Bitcoin for record quantum security attack.

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to ...

A team at Google Quantum AI, led by researcher Craig Gidney, has shown that breaking RSA-2048 encryption could require roughly 20 times fewer physical qubits than previously estimated, collapsing the ...

Efforts to prepare enterprise data security for potential quantum-era threats are underway, though many organizations may ...

In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology did something it had been working toward for eight years: it finalized the first three cryptographic standards built to withstand ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The forthcoming era of quantum computers holds a lot of promise. Qubits—the quantum version of classical bits—have the potential to solve immensely ...

After research from Google suggested a potential threat to some cryptocurrencies, tokens like QRL and Cellframe (CEL) saw ...

About eight years ago, toward the end of a panel I was moderating on cybersecurity, I turned to the panelists and asked them to tell me what to expect when quantum computing would come online. I got ...

A lot has been made about a post-quantum computer future in which traditional encryption methods have suddenly been rendered ...
