Many embedded systems depend on obscurity to achieve security. We often design systems to download unsigned or unencrypted firmware upgrades or store unencrypted user data, a practice we justify ...

Researchers affiliated with Caltech and the quantum computing startup Oratomic have published a preprint claiming that Shor’s algorithm, the theoretical tool capable of breaking widely used public-key ...

Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

Remember Nokia? Back before smartphones, many of us carried Nokia's nearly indestructible cell phones. They no longer make phones, but don't count Nokia out. Ever since the company was founded in 1865 ...

The quantum-safe cryptography landscape in 2026 spans PQC vendors, QKD providers, cloud platforms, and consultancies responding to the growing quantum threat. Organizations are adopting a dual ...
