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 ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...

In December 2024, a team at Google published a result in Nature that physicists had been chasing for nearly three decades: a ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

Efforts to prepare enterprise data security for potential quantum-era threats are underway, though many organizations may ...

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to ...

If you’re picturing quantum computing as a giant red button that suddenly shuts off the internet, the reality is a little less theatrical and a lot more technical than that. The main danger isn't that ...

And on the same day, researchers at Google published a paper saying that quantum computers could break elliptic curve cryptography with as few as 1,200 to 1,450 logical qubits. Elliptic curve ...

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko warns AI could break post-quantum cryptographic schemes, urging multi-sig wallets and PDA ...

After research from Google suggested a potential threat to some cryptocurrencies, tokens like QRL and Cellframe (CEL) saw ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough by "distilling" light to eliminate the noise that prevents photonic quantum computers ...

The day when a quantum computer manages to break common encryption, or Q-Day, is fast approaching, and the world is not close ...
