Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have won the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography. I am incredibly pleased to see them get this recognition. I have always thought the technology to be fantastic,

A team of Google researchers just set a new date for post-quantum cryptography migration: 2029. Among other things, this means that Bitcoin, as well as many other cryptocurrencies, needs to adopt new cryptographic techniques that are resilient to quantum attacks within three years.

Google warned that quantum advances could break crypto security sooner than expected, with analysts recommending ‘appropriate urgency.’

Serious Cryptography – A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption written by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, is an incredibly detailed and practical guide to modern encryption, written by one of the foremost authorities in applied cryptography and co ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In our increasingly digital lives, security depends on cryptography. Send a private message or pay a bill online, and you’re relying on algorithms designed to keep your data secret.

Sui Research’s new quantum-safe wallet upgrade method offers a hard fork-free solution for EdDSA-based blockchains, but does not apply to Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Kimmo Järvinen is a hardware cryptography engineer and researcher with nearly 20 years of experience in the field. He has authored more than 60 scientific publications on cryptography, cryptographic engineering, and secure embedded systems, and holds a PhD in electrical engineering from Helsinki University of Technology.

The first post-quantum cryptographic algorithms were officially released today, with more to come from ongoing public-private sector collaborations. The first series of algorithms suited for post-quantum cryptographic needs debuted today, the culmination ...

The field of neural cryptography explores innovative methods for secure key exchange by harnessing the synchronisation capabilities intrinsic to artificial neural networks. Unlike conventional cryptographic approaches that rely on number theory, neural ...

An encryption method for transmitting data that uses key pairs, comprising one private and one public key. Public key cryptography is called "asymmetric encryption" because both keys are not equal. A huge cryptographic breakthrough in the late 1970s, the ...
