A San Francisco company paid nearly $1 million for the solution to an unsolved code in Kryptos, a sculpture on the C.I.A.

Classical public-key cryptography derives its security from integer factorisation. Diagram by Venus Kolhi. Quantum computers bring exponential computing power, ultrafast calculations, advanced ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can.

Modern encryption relies on mathematical assumptions that quantum computers may soon render obsolete. This technological shift creates new ...

Dashlane reports that attackers have copied around 20 password vaults after massive brute-force attacks. Criminals have ...

There is a question I have been hearing more and more from CISOs, compliance officers, and security architects over the past year. It does not start with “we had a breach” or “we failed an audit.” It ...

Quantum computers are closer than ever. The year 2026 has been internationally designated the "Year of Quantum Security" -- ...

Forget about email hackers. What if someone nabs your external drive and all the data on it? Thwart thieves with a drive with ...

Quantum computing advances raise concerns over 10,000 qubits breaking P‑256 encryption using Shor’s algorithm, driving ...

AES is one of the most widely used cryptographic algorithms in embedded systems today. It protects industrial gateways, FPGA-based communication systems, automotive networks, VPNs, secure boot chains, ...

This research might also help pave the way for the quantum internet and other quantum systems in 40-50 years. Computer scientists with Toshiba Europe recently distributed quantum encryption keys ...
