The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to ...

But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

Quantum computers are coming and they may impact systems in unexpected ways that security teams will need to plan for.

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

In the 1970s, some basic ideas in supposedly useless number theory were deployed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman. They developed the RSA algorithm, which enables public key cryptography, ...

The discussion of quantum-proofing legacy applications is causing some excitement in the world of cryptography, spurred by ...

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.
