We all thought banking and military security was impenetrable? That was, until Chinese researchers used a D-Wave quantum computer to execute what they claim as the first successful quantum attack on ...

Almost every secure connection on the internet, from a bank’s login page to a messaging app, relies on math problems that an ...

Active Cypher built a mini-quantum computer (repurposed hardware running quantum algorithms) to prove that conventional encryption (RSA + AES) is nearing the end. This is designed to be a wake-up call ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

MIAMI, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As artificial intelligence fuels a surge in convincing deepfakes and quantum computing advances toward real-world use, Florida International University (FIU) ...

A researcher’s social media post revealing how to break part of a popular encryption protocol has gone viral. But did he ...

It has long been believed that data fades quickly from a computer’s memory and that its encryption is sound once the computer is shut down. Not so, found Princeton University researchers who pried ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

The world’s six largest computer drive makers Tuesday published the final specifications (download PDF) for a single, full-disk encryption standard that can be used across all hard disk drives, solid ...

New documents leaked by Edward Snowden reveal two NSA programs that seek to build a "useful quantum computer" that can break all known forms of classical encryption. Such a quantum computer would ...

The secure network component of Finland’s quantum computer project has taken a significant leap forward in the wake of successful ultra-secure novel encryption technology (NET) tests. NET supports the ...
