The National Institute of Standards and Technology has selected four candidates to form the basis of future data-protection technologies to resist attack by quantum computers, the US science agency ...

Public-key encryption, as noted in the profile of cryptographer Bruce Schneier, is complicated in detail but simple in outline. The article below is an outline of the principles of the most common ...

But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings ...

IBM adds NIST’s new public-key encryption and digital signatures algorithms to defend against attacks by future quantum computers. While the need for it may be years away, IBM has added additional ...

While a standard isn't in place yet, now is the time to understand your risks and put a focus on agility. Okay, we get it: Quantum computers will break today’s public key cryptography. So, now what?

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 ...
