For more than 40 years, we have been building the modern internet on foundations that were never designed for the world we live in today. When the architects of the early internet created its ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

With new NSF award, computer science associate professor Prabhanjan Ananth will study the foundations of quantum computing as a cryptographic tool Whether you use a smartphone or a computer, pay for ...

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 ...

The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to ...

Post-quantum cryptography, or PQC, is an emerging field of technology that anticipates a world where quantum computers will render modern encryption algorithms obsolete. By developing PQC pilots, ...

Over the past year, vendor after vendor has reached the critical quantum-computing milestone where adding more qubits no longer adds a disproportionately higher amount of errors. “For the first time, ...

Google's new whitepaper says it could take only minutes for a quantum system to crack Bitcoin.

A U.S. House subcommittee issued a stark warning to the nation's financial sector this week: The quantum computing age is coming, and with it, the inevitable collapse of current data encryption.

Quantum computers are expected to be built at a size that is commercially useful in a mere few years, from maybe just 2028 to the mid-2030s, depending on the estimate and the exact capacity ...
