It is hoped Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard's work will make digital communications secure for decades ahead.

An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking work on quantum key cryptography.

At the time, their technique was a fascinating but impractical creation. Forty years later, it is poised to become an ...

Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

NIST selects four encryption algorithms to thwart future quantum computer attacks Your email has been sent The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and ...

Encrypting files, folders, and drives on your computer means that no one else can make sense of the data they contain without a particular decryption key—which in most cases is a password known only ...

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 ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

As artificial intelligence fuels a surge in convincing deepfakes and quantum computing advances toward real-world use, researchers have developed a quantum-safe encryption system designed to protect ...

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 ...

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 ...

END-TO-END ENCRYPTION is the process of scrambling messages, images and calls so they can only be seen or listened to by the intended recipient. WhatsApp played an important role in democratising ...
