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 ...

All cryptography uses hash functions. if it exists [a way to break hashing] we are doomed as human beings. That’s over for cryptography.The NIST-approved post-quantum signatures are at least ten times ...

The dreaded Q-day could arrive sooner than expected, and when it does, experts say we need to be ready. Reading time 8 minutes In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum algorithm ...

Last summer saw security giant Palo Alto Networks update its firewall operating system with quantum-optimized hardware to deliver high‑throughput processing of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The ...

By the time Bitcoin and other networks are ready to defend themselves, it may already be too late, according to a new ...
