The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as ...

Because the migration to PQC is a complex, multi-year undertaking that requires a strategic approach, Peters said organizations need to start now. Cryptography failure due to quantum attacks could ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...

Ofer A. Lidsky is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience and is the founder and CEO of Excellent Brain. In today’s digital age, data encryption is vital for protecting sensitive information.

What is quantum computing, really? We explain qubits, superposition, and the quantum threat to encryption — in plain English, with no PhD required.

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...
