When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ahead of the problem and keep our data secure.

New techniques could stand up to the power of a quantum computer — if we implement them in time New techniques could stand up to the power of a quantum computer — if we implement them in time In 2016, ...

Today we’re going to talk about how to keep information secret, and this isn’t a new goal. We’re going to walk you through some common encryption techniques such as the Advanced Encryption Standard ...

In 2018, Aayush Jain, a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles, traveled to Japan to give a talk about a powerful cryptographic tool he and his colleagues were developing. As he ...

The PQC algorithm is designed based on mathematical problems that are extremely difficult to solve not only with current classical computers, but also with future quantum computers, aiming to counter ...

Quantum cryptography, a completely secure means of communication, is much closer to being used practically as researchers have now developed high speed detectors capable of receiving information with ...

As a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1996, Amit Sahai was fascinated by the strange notion of a “zero-knowledge” proof, a type of mathematical protocol for convincing ...

President Joe Biden signed a national security memorandum (NSM) on Thursday asking government agencies to implement measures that would mitigate risks posed by quantum computers to US national cyber ...

A consortium of companies led by Airbus has been established by the European Commission (EC) to study the design of future European quantum communications. The commission plans to develop an ...
