Sean Hackett, BTQ Head of Silicon Product, discusses the critical threat quantum computing poses to current encryption standards. He explains that "Q-Day," the moment when quantum computers can break ...

Digital security currently relies on difficult equations to protect data. For example, when you use a credit card online, the information is locked inside a math problem that would take a modern ...

A new study suggests that breaking RSA encryption with quantum computers may require 20 times fewer resources than previously thought. Although Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography, it remains ...

One day soon, at a research lab near Santa Barbara or Seattle or a secret facility in the Chinese mountains, it will begin: the sudden unlocking of the world’s secrets. Your secrets. Cybersecurity ...

Yoon Auh’s company does “cryptographic logistics,” swapping ciphers on the fly, because nobody can prove quantum-resistant ...

Asymmetric cryptographic algorithms – RSA and ECC, which are based on solvable math – can be cracked in seconds by a quantum computer. Functional quantum computers once seemed a distant future state; ...

Less than a year ago, NIST released its first set of Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. The call then went out from quantum cryptography experts for federal agencies to immediately start ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

The federal government recently shortened its deadlines for replacing the encryption that guards sensitive data, responding to a year of research that suggests computers able to break today's codes ...

Quantum computing poses an invisible threat to crypto. Experts warn the first attack may be undetectable, with Tether's key ...
