The moves were largely prompted by two pieces of research showing that CRQC (cryptographically relevant quantum ...

“Quantum safe” cryptography techniques are still under development ...

In February, a research team published a new architecture showing that RSA-2048, the encryption standard underpinning most of the internet’s security, could be broken with fewer than 100,000 physical ...

Last summer saw security giant Palo Alto Networks update its firewall operating system with quantum-optimized hardware to ...

The changes are coming on two fronts. On one, tech giants such as IBM and Google are racing to build ever-larger quantum computers: IBM hopes to achieve a genuine advantage over classical computers in ...

Quantum computing’s threat to encryption is - conceptually at least – very simple. One day, perhaps quite soon, a quantum computer may be able to ...

Your Email is Encrypted Today, but Will It Hold Up Tomorrow? Awakening one day to discover that every “secure email” you’ve ever written was not secure at all. Your client contracts, financial ...

Cloudflare has set a 2029 deadline for full post-quantum security, prioritizing authentication over encryption to counter ...

One paper finds that attacking the bitcoin blockchain through quantum mining would demand the energy output of a star.

Google recently released important research that moves Q-Day — the day quantum computers will be able to “break the Internet” ...

The encryption protecting global banking, government communications, and digital identity does not fail when a quantum computer is finally built. It fails the moment adversaries acquire enough quantum ...

Researchers from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked startup, published findings on March 31, 2026, arguing that a useful quantum computer capable of running Shor’s algorithm on real cryptographic ...
