On Tuesday, the U.S. finalized standards for post-quantum encryption — a move intended to ensure companies, citizens and government agencies can all stay ahead of the potential of quantum computers ...

Kimmo Järvinen is a hardware cryptography engineer and researcher with nearly 20 years of experience in the field. He has authored more than 60 scientific publications on cryptography, cryptographic ...

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

The quest for "quantum supremacy" – unambiguous proof that a quantum computer does something faster than an ordinary computer – has paradoxically led to a boom in quasi-quantum classical algorithms. A ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

Following six years of development, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has released draft standards for three algorithms that can resist future attacks by quantum computers. The U.S.

Quantum computing is a technology that promises to revolutionize computing by speeding up key computing tasks in areas such as machine learning and solving otherwise intractable problems. Some ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Last year I wrote a Forbes article that provided a deep dive ...

The first round of PQC candidate algorithms that were announced by NIST on August 24 of last year. It included one general-purpose encryption algorithm (ML-KEM) and two digital signature algorithms ...

Three NIST-approved encryption algorithms set the stage for establishing PQC strategies, which — despite quantum computing’s infancy — CISOs should begin launching given the attack techniques and ...
