The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, ...

Computer scientists say they've developed a new encryption method designed to defend sensitive data from one of the biggest looming threats in cybersecurity: quantum computers powerful enough to crack ...

Last week, cybersecurity researchers woke up to bad news. Research in new papers published by Google and a quantum computing startup, Oratomic, suggests that quantum computers capable of breaking the ...

Some 30 years ago, the mathematician Peter Shor took a niche physics project — the dream of building a computer based on the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics — and shook the world. Shor ...

The takeaway: Experts have long warned about the threat that conventional cryptography faces from quantum computers, potentially undermining the foundational security of all digital encryption. New ...

Powerful quantum computers may be closer than scientists thought. To unleash the technology’s full power, scientists have long thought that quantum computers with millions of quantum bits, or qubits, ...

Quantum computers don't need to be nearly as powerful as we thought to break the world's most secure encryption algorithms, scientists warn. New research claims that quantum computers can make widely ...

Google is dramatically shortening its readiness deadline for the arrival of Q Day, the point at which existing quantum computers can break public-key cryptography algorithms that secure decades’ worth ...

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA today announced expanded support for the new Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite solution at RSAC Conference 2026. This new support joins additional passwordless ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Meta is killing end-to-end encryption in Instagram DMs. The feature will "no longer be supported after May 8, 2026," the company wrote in an ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...
