Michael Gao, the co-founder of California-based start-up Fabric Cryptography, makes a bold claim. “We’re going to do for cryptography what Nvidia has done for artificial intelligence (AI),” he says.

Imagine waking up one day to find that all your confidential emails are suddenly an open book for anyone with a powerful enough computer. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Well, with the rapid ...

A long-sought “holy grail” in cryptography is poised to change the way we protect sensitive information. Today’s standard encryption schemes take an all-or-nothing approach. Once scrambled, your data ...

In 1994, the computer scientist Peter Shor discovered that if quantum computers were ever invented, they would decimate much of the infrastructure used to protect information shared online. That ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

In 1868, the mathematician Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) proclaimed that an encryption scheme called the Vigenère cipher was “unbreakable.” He had no proof, but he had compelling ...

“The Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography,” Google’s director of quantum tells us. “The Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography,” Google’s director of quantum ...

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 ...

RSA CONFERENCE 2022 – Even the most future-facing panels at this year's RSA Conference are grounded in the lessons of the past. At the post-quantum cryptography keynote "Wells Fargo PQC Program: The ...

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has enlisted quantum-safe encryption pioneer Arqit Quantum to help lead on the UK’s looming migration to post-quantum cryptography. The NCSC’s PQC Pilot ...
