Quantum computers, cryptography and encryption are a potent mix, especially because quantum computers could eventually give attackers a practical method for decrypting almost all traditionally ...

It might be only a matter of time before quantum computers crack the cryptography keys that support sensitive data and cryptocurrencies on blockchain networks. Now quantum software company Cambridge ...

The world’s first quantum encryption computer network has been expanded to include a wireless link that uses quantum communications codes. Most modern cryptography rests upon the difficulty of solving ...

A team of engineers and researchers are working to tap quantum cryptography technology to enhance network encryption tools, so these can be ready to mitigate security risks when quantum computing ...

Features: From public-key cryptography to local AI, Whitfield Diffie reflects on how trust is changing as enterprises confront AI, quantum risk and new security architectures.

A consortium of companies led by Airbus has been established by the European Commission (EC) to study the design of future European quantum communications. The commission plans to develop an ...

Algorand is planning new accounts and consensus mechanisms designed to be resistant to the cryptography-breaking threat of quantum computers. The layer-1 blockchain Algorand has released its plan to ...

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 ...

Imagine waking up one day to find that all your confidential emails are suddenly an open book for anyone with a powerful enough computer. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Well, with the rapid ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

New techniques could stand up to the power of a quantum computer — if we implement them in time New techniques could stand up to the power of a quantum computer — if we implement them in time In 2016, ...
