The research shows quantum computers may break bitcoin and ether wallet encryption with far fewer qubits than previously ...

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

But cryptocurrencies aren't the only application at risk.

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

Google warns that Q-Day is coming, which is the point that quantum computing renders modern encryption irrelevant.

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

A US physicist and a Canadian computer scientist have won this year's Turing Award for their invention of a form of seemingly unbreakable encryption. Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard's work, ...
