Serious Cryptography – A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption written by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, is an incredibly detailed and practical guide to modern encryption, written by one of the ...

Quantum computing may one day outperform classical machines in solving certain complex problems, but when and how this “quantum advantage” emerges has remained unclear. Now, researchers from Kyoto ...

For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees. That changed in August 2024, when the National Institute of Standards and ...

Before we move into the meat of this article, let’s define a couple terms related to cryptography. The syllable crypt may make you think of tombs, but it comes from a Greek word that means “hidden” or ...

As quantum computing advances, discussions around the future of cryptography are becoming increasingly common. In many conversations, one message is often heard: in the future, only quantum-safe ...

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 ...

Quantum computing will reshape encryption, but not overnight, and a disciplined, phased approach lets organizations modernize cryptographic foundations without disruption while strengthening security ...

Current public-key cryptography is expected to be broken by a large-scale quantum computer as soon as eight years from now. There is no question that quantum computing poses significant risks to the ...

The race is on to create new ways to protect data and communications from the threat posed by super-powerful quantum computers. This is the third in a series of explainers on quantum technology. The ...
