The clock is ticking on cryptocurrency.

New research from Google shows that quantum computers could require far less resources than previously thought to break the ...

Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails' of algorithmic number theory, on which the security of many cryptographic ...

The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

Researchers have reached a new milestone in the annals of cryptography with the factoring of the largest RSA key size ever computed and a matching computation of the largest-ever integer discrete ...

After announcing a 2029 target for migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), Google has warned that a quantum system ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

The asymmetric cryptography on which so much security on the Internet is based relies on one of two mathematical assumptions to work: that it is impossible, other than through brute force, to ...

When it comes to securing data, it is not too early to start anticipating the future threat of quantum computing. Today’s cryptographic technology based on elliptic curves will not withstand the ...

Editor's note: See the original article on PurpleAlientPlanet. Some of my research is focused on the implementation issues of elliptic curve cryptography on embedded systems. Since I often have to ...
