In the 1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard created a new kind of encryption that would be impregnable. By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the ...

In mathematics, proofs can be written down and shared. In cryptography, when people are trying to avoid revealing their secrets, proofs are not always so simple—but a new result significantly closes ...

For C-suite leaders, one of the most daunting operational challenges of the next decade will be the migration to post-quantum cryptography: algorithms that can defend against attacks from quantum ...

A firm considered one of the leading global voices in encryption has cancelled the announcement of its leadership election results after an official lost the encrypted key needed to unlock them. The ...

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 ...

Quantum computing presents both a potential breakthrough and a cryptographic threat -- one that Microsoft is tackling through what it calls "progress towards next‑generation cryptography." In a post ...

Abstract: Due to the increasing threats from possible large-scale quantum computers, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has drawn significant attention from various communities recently. In particular, ...

Following public outcry last week, the National Cryptologic Museum in Annapolis Junction, Maryland acknowledge that it had made a “mistake” in covering several plaques and images honouring women and ...

Robbie has been an avid gamer for well over 20 years. During that time, he's watched countless franchises rise and fall. He's a big RPG fan but dabbles in a little bit of everything. Writing about ...

Michael Gao, the co-founder of California-based start-up Fabric Cryptography, makes a bold claim. “We’re going to do for cryptography what Nvidia has done for artificial intelligence (AI),” he says.

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 ...
