The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized a set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from quantum computers. These ...
The first post-quantum cryptographic algorithms were officially released today, with more to come from ongoing public-private sector collaborations. The first series of algorithms suited for ...
Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
Peter Shor didn’t set out to break the internet. But an algorithm he developed in the mid-1990s threatened to do just that. In a landmark paper, Shor showed how a hypothetical computer that exploited ...
