Quantum computing and synthetic data are two top themes in today's financial security conversations. The two midday panels at ...

A lot has been made about a post-quantum computer future in which traditional encryption methods have suddenly been rendered ...

Before RSA, secure communication required sharing secret keys, an impossible task at global scale. This is the story of how a trapdoor hidden inside number theory became the invisible infrastructure ...

As the joke goes, CRQC has been 10 to 20 years away for the past three decades. While the recent research suggests that steady progress is being made, the chances of CRQCs arriving before 2035 remain ...

Every encrypted connection you make online relies on a centuries-old mystery about prime numbers. This is the elegant mathematics behind public key cryptography and why breaking it would take longer ...

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 ...

The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to ...

Some 30 years ago, the mathematician Peter Shor took a niche physics project — the dream of building a computer based on the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics — and shook the world. Shor ...

The takeaway: Experts have long warned about the threat that conventional cryptography faces from quantum computers, potentially undermining the foundational security of all digital encryption. New ...

Powerful quantum computers may be closer than scientists thought. To unleash the technology’s full power, scientists have long thought that quantum computers with millions of quantum bits, or qubits, ...

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

According to Google, Q-Day—the point at which modern encryption becomes obsolete in the face of quantum computers capable of breaking it instantly—is approaching. Google suggests the day may arrive as ...
