There is a potential dark side to quantum computing, one that is a threat to how we secure data. Back in 1994, Peter Shor developed an algorithm for factoring large numbers using a quantum computer, ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Ahead of schedule, Metaculus now predicts that quantum computers could factor an RSA number using Shor's algorithm by 2034. This is almost 20 years sooner than the previous forecast of 2052. These ...

Post-quantum security revolves around staying in the race because when quantum arrives, it won’t send a warning. Those who ...

Bitcoin, the revolutionary digital currency, has taken the world by storm with its promise of decentralized, secure transactions. At the heart of Bitcoin’s security lies cryptography, a field that has ...

The rise of quantum computing and its implications for current encryption standards are well known. But why exactly should quantum computers be especially adept at breaking encryption? The answer is a ...

Advances in quantum computing technology threaten the security of current cryptosystems. Asymmetric cryptography algorithms that are used by modern security protocols for key exchange and digital ...

Quantum computing is not currently an existential threat to Bitcoin, but as capital becomes more institutional and long-term, ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is accepting feedback on the Federal Information Processing Standards 203, 204 and 205 draft standards until November 22, according to its ...
