The research shows quantum computers may break bitcoin and ether wallet encryption with far fewer qubits than previously thought, accelerating the push toward post-quantum security.

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 sensitive institutions including militaries and banks ...

It is hoped Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard's work will make digital communications secure for decades ahead.

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid state drives (SSD) and encryption key management ...

The secure network component of Finland’s quantum computer project has taken a significant leap forward in the wake of successful ultra-secure novel encryption technology (NET) tests. NET supports the quantum computing project’s core mission to ...

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, which dates back to 1984, is known as quantum cryptography ...
