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 ...

In December 2024, a team at Google published a result in Nature that physicists had been chasing for nearly three decades: a ...

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

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

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 ...

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner than previously stated.

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

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

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 ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough by "distilling" light to eliminate the noise that prevents photonic quantum computers ...
