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 ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...

New research suggests quantum computers capable of breaking internet encryption may arrive sooner than expected—with AI helping speed the way.

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

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

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

As advancements in quantum computing increase the possibility of existing cryptographic systems being rendered ineffective, ...

An OECD paper last year said 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks were one reason to move now.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko warns AI could break post-quantum cryptographic schemes, urging multi-sig wallets and PDA ...

The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to ...

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 ...
