The discovery of quantum mechanics opened the door to fundamentally new ways of communicating, processing, and protecting data. With a quantum revolution well underway, long unimaginable opportunities ...
Post-quantum cryptography is moving from a future security concern to a practical planning issue for organizations. Quantum computers powerful enough to break widely used public-key encryption aren’t ...
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 ...
In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...
FINDING 2.1: Stateful digital signatures based on hash functions are practical today and will remain secure even if large-scale quantum computers are practical or if new number theoretic attacks are ...
Quantum computing could shatter today’s encryption and the race to protect crypto’s future is already underway. I still remember the first time I sent a Bitcoin transaction. A small amount, but it ...
Adam Hayes, Ph.D., CFA, is a financial writer with 15+ years Wall Street experience as a derivatives trader. Besides his extensive derivative trading expertise, Adam is an expert in economics and ...
Two researchers have broken an encryption protocol that many saw as a promising defense against the power of quantum computing. If today’s cryptography protocols were to fail, it would be impossible ...
