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 ...

The standards are based on four algorithms that NIST selected in 2022 after a six-year competition to craft new quantum-ready encryption methods. Those algorithms were CRYSTALS-Kyber, ...

Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

Some bad actors are already harvesting encrypted data now to store it in hopes that they can decrypt it down the line when quantum computers become more powerful.

However, the weak chips inside these devices call for an algorithm that can deliver robust encryption at very little computational power.

With experts suggesting that quantum computers will decrypt public key algorithms by 2030, quantum risk cryptography is becoming vital.

Increasing computing power will soon make existing encryption algorithms ineffective. Here’s how the industry is responding and how your agency can benefit from new encryption innovations today.

In a nutshell: Researchers at China's Tsinghua University believe they have discovered a quantum-based algorithm capable of breaking today's most complex encryption standards. The team claims that ...

An encryption algorithm that was supposed to stand up to attacks from the future's most powerful computers was recently laid low by a much simpler machine.

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that ...
