Yoon Auh’s company does “cryptographic logistics,” swapping ciphers on the fly, because nobody can prove quantum-resistant ...

Organizations must become quantum-ready before today's cryptography becomes tomorrow's liability.

The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university blackboards: a quantum computer. Chart: The Economist These days, quantum ...

Quantum computing will reshape encryption, but not overnight, and a disciplined, phased approach lets organizations modernize cryptographic foundations without disruption while strengthening security ...

The security and privacy of global commerce and communication depend on forms of encryption that would take classical computers billions of years to crack. A powerful quantum computer might break such ...

Many companies are pouring millions into quantum computing programs to gain a competitive edge and prepare for future ...

Imagine a world where the locks protecting your most sensitive information—your financial records, medical history, or even national security secrets—can be effortlessly picked. This is the looming ...

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 ...

A new study suggests that breaking RSA encryption with quantum computers may require 20 times fewer resources than previously thought. Although Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography, it remains ...

About eight years ago, toward the end of a panel I was moderating on cybersecurity, I turned to the panelists and asked them to tell me what to expect when quantum computing would come online. I got ...
