A deep dive into what Q-Day is, and the impact it will have on encryption as we know it ...

Over on YouTube, [The Modern Rogue] created an interesting video showing a slide-rule-like encryption device called the Réglette. This was a hardware implementation of a Vigenère-like Cipher, ...

Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with ...

As quantum computing advances, discussions around the future of cryptography are becoming increasingly common. In many conversations, one message is often heard: in the future, only quantum-safe ...

Quantum cryptography? Pah! That's for newbies, according to researchers from Texas A&M University who claim to have pioneered unbreakable cryptography based on the laws of thermodynamics; classical ...

Unlike classical encryption, quantum communication systems are known to offer the promise of virtually unbreakable encryption. Now, new research on this topic is shaking up the long-held notion that ...

But PQC, PQ3, post-quantum cryptography—just what do all these terms mean? Here’s what you need to know about post-quantum encryption and why it will be critical in protecting our most sensitive data ...
