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 ...

To safeguard existing cybersecurity protocols from easy decryption by a quantum computer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Post-Quantum Cryptography Project has developed three ...

Classical public-key cryptography derives its security from integer factorisation. Diagram by Venus Kolhi. Quantum computers bring exponential computing power, ultrafast calculations, advanced ...

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 path to a secure future in a world with quantum computers just became a bit clearer. This week, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the algorithms that were ...

An IBM quantum computer during a 2023 inauguration event. Last week, a cybersecurity-focused trade group for the financial services industry released a whitepaper advocating for banks and other ...

The arrival of quantum computing poses a significant threat to many traditional cryptographic systems, meaning the security being used to keep your organization safe today could easily be redundant ...

With 2024 fast becoming a pivotal year for quantum technologies, attention is turning to how quantum computers will soon be capable of easily cracking our current encryption standards. 'Harvest now, ...

The world’s first post-quantum cryptography standards have been formalized by the US National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). The standards provide organizations with a framework to secure ...

A fourth scheme derived from Falcon will be published soon. Team PQShield contributed to and advised on all candidate algorithms developed as part of the NIST standardisation process, in addition to ...
