The clock is ticking on cryptocurrency.

Researchers affiliated with Caltech and the quantum computing startup Oratomic have published a preprint claiming that Shor’s ...

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

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough ...

Research suggests fault-tolerant quantum machines could arrive sooner than expected, posing a threat to Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptography.

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked. The cracking of the encryption meant that some voice calls might be vulnerable to ...

Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...
