Much interest in quantum computer development was spurred by Peter Shor's 1994 discovery of an algorithm that showed how ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

A newly developed encryption framework aims to protect video data from future quantum attacks, all while running on today's ...

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought ...

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid ...

Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

Jim Kohlenberger is co-chair of Trusted Future and an innovation policy leader who has served as a policy advisor to two U.S. Presidents. The Washington Post reported in February that the U.K.

New documents leaked by Edward Snowden reveal two NSA programs that seek to build a "useful quantum computer" that can break all known forms of classical encryption. Such a quantum computer would ...
