Recent research papers posted to arXiv have sharply reduced the estimated computing power a quantum machine would need to crack the encryption protecting major cryptocurrencies and other digital ...

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 ...

The dreaded Q-day could arrive sooner than expected, and when it does, experts say we need to be ready. Reading time 8 minutes In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum algorithm ...

Project Eleven, a quantum security research company, awarded a prize to researcher Giancarlo Lelli for using a quantum computer to break a 15-bit elliptic-curve key — a small-scale version of the same ...

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