What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

Cryptography is undoubtedly one of the most complex and daunting topics in information security. So let's start with the basics: What is cryptography? Cryptography is a method of storing and ...

The advent of quantum computing represents a fundamental shift in computational capabilities that threatens the cryptographic foundation of modern digital security. As quantum computers evolve from ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

Quantum computing has the potential to one day break today’s encryption algorithms, requiring a proactive approach to finding new and innovative ways to protect data that can withstand those upcoming ...

Three NIST-approved encryption algorithms set the stage for establishing PQC strategies, which — despite quantum computing’s infancy — CISOs should begin launching given the attack techniques and ...
