The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

As artificial intelligence fuels a surge in convincing deepfakes and quantum computing advances toward real-world use, Florida International University (FIU) researchers have developed a quantum-safe ...

In July 2022, a pair of mathematicians in Belgium startled the cybersecurity world. They took a data-encryption scheme that had been designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers so ...

The Signal Foundation, maker of the Signal Protocol that encrypts messages sent by more than a billion people, has rolled out an update designed to prepare for a very real prospect that’s never far ...

Last August, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released its first three finalized post-quantum encryption standards, designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. It ...

Plans by the government in the Online Safety Bill (OSB) to require tech companies to scan encrypted messages will damage the UK’s reputation for data security, the UK’s professional body for IT has ...

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave‘s quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption RSA, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...
