To safeguard existing cybersecurity protocols from easy decryption by a quantum computer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Post-Quantum Cryptography Project has developed three ...

Remember Nokia? Back before smartphones, many of us carried Nokia's nearly indestructible cell phones. They no longer make phones, but don't count Nokia out. Ever since the company was founded in 1865 ...

Every message, financial transaction, medical record, or government document encrypted today could remain stored ...

The discovery of quantum mechanics opened the door to fundamentally new ways of communicating, processing, and protecting data. With a quantum revolution well underway, long unimaginable opportunities ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

Defining security in quantum key distribution with Carla Ferradini, Martin Sandfuchs, and Renato Renner The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) is quantified by a parameter ε >0, which—under ...

Google researchers have warned that quantum computers could break widely used encryption systems by 2029, a timeline that compresses earlier industry estimates by years. The company said it has ...

An IBM quantum computer during a 2023 inauguration event. Last week, a cybersecurity-focused trade group for the financial services industry released a whitepaper advocating for banks and other ...

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 ...

Data drives business, and it must be protected. Cybersecurity is an ongoing, ever-evolving challenge for organizations across industries—and it’s about to become even more complex as the age of ...

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; ...

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and ...
