The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

MicroAlgo Inc. announced the integration of its quantum image LSQb algorithm with quantum encryption technology to create a new system for secure information hiding and transmission. This innovative ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that ASCON is the winning bid for the "lightweight cryptography" program to find the best algorithm to protect small IoT (Internet ...

Quantum computing presents opportunities in strategic planning and discovery through complex simulations, but also risks in data security via Shor’s algorithm. Businesses must prepare now to leverage ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...
