When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ahead of the problem and keep our data secure.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) says that in a matter of 20 years, our current cryptography systems will be outdated and easily cracked by quantum computers. This is a bit of ...

Today we’re going to talk about how to keep information secret, and this isn’t a new goal. We’re going to walk you through some common encryption techniques such as the Advanced Encryption Standard ...

Back in August, the NSA released an updated advisory(Opens in a new window) that was at once interesting and expected: It said that the world had to prepare for the ...

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, ...

The PQC algorithm is designed based on mathematical problems that are extremely difficult to solve not only with current classical computers, but also with future quantum computers, aiming to counter ...

A new paper claims that a common digital security system could be tweaked to withstand attacks even from a powerful quantum computer. Math is hard. Indeed, much of the modern infrastructure for secure ...
