Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.

Researchers in France and Japan have transmitted what they describe as the first DNA-encrypted message between laboratories, sending encoded data between Paris and Tokyo using synthetic genetic ...

For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees. That changed in August 2024, when the National Institute of Standards and ...

The correct framing is not that Lightning is broken and unfixable. It is that Lightning, like all of Bitcoin, and like most ...

On March 25, Google released a blog post titled “Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear.” Here’s how it begins: “Google’s introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with ...

Diffie-Hellman’s key-exchange method runs this kind of exponentiation protocol, with all the operations conducted in this way ...

At 90 years old, the Duke of Kent is the oldest working member of the royal family, but the diligent Prince Edward is continuing to serve his patronages. On Monday, the Duke travelled to Milton Keynes ...

I’m just the blogger who works nights and weekends for Gizmodo. If I could get into the nitty-gritty of cryptography and quantum computing, I would be off doing that. With that said, this concerns a ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

The quantum computing power required to break the encryption that secures blockchains continues to decline, at least in theory, raising the question of whether the industry can migrate to ...
