Chinese researchers have claimed a significant breakthrough in the realm of encryption, stating that they have managed to crack algorithms commonly used in banking and cryptocurrency. The team, led by ...

The information security situation is constantly changing due to the rise of quantum computing technologies, which can swiftly decrypt modern encryption techniques. However, a promising US government ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. We all thought banking and military security was impenetrable? That was, until Chinese researchers used a D-Wave quantum computer to execute what they ...

In the digital era and moving towards quantum computing, protecting data against hack attacks is one of our biggest challenges—and one that experts, governments, and industries worldwide work hard to ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

The rise of quantum computing and its implications for current encryption standards are well known. But why exactly should quantum computers be especially adept at breaking encryption? The answer is a ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

"Military-grade encryption" sounds impressive in marketing materials, but the term refers to something more specific and less ...
