For years, the threat of quantum computing lived comfortably in the category of “interesting but distant,” but that comfort ...

It's an aggressive move that'll effectively force operators of critical French infrastructure to move away from traditional cryptographic systems.

Whenever we talk about end-to-end encrypted data, we're usually talking about messaging apps like iMessage, Signal, WhatsApp, and Google's RCS. But plenty of other data is encrypted to ensure ...

Most organizations give the migration to quantum-safe cryptography to the CISO. But that puts a cross-business change in the ...

The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and then vet encryption methods to significantly increase the security of digital information, the agency said. The Department of Commerce’s ...

In 1994, a Bell Labs mathematician named Peter Shor cooked up an algorithm with frightening potential. By vastly reducing the computing resources required to factor large numbers—to break them down ...

Every two decades or so, a new technology upends national security. In the 1940s and 1950s, the atomic and hydrogen bombs established nuclear deterrence. In the 1970s and 1980s, microelectronics led ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is taking another large step in its ongoing mission to steer organizations toward post-quantum cyber readiness, announcing the beginning of agency ...

This story originally appeared on Ars Technica, a trusted source for technology news, tech policy analysis, reviews, and more. Ars is owned by WIRED's parent company, Condé Nast. Last month, the US ...

Mathematicians often toil in obscurity, and that's likely because few people, apart from fellow mathematicians who share the same sub-specialty, understand what they do. Even when algorithms have ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced the first series of quantum-resistant computer algorithms, a major development to secure digital information in a post-quantum world.
