Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem.

The NIST wants to adapt encryption algorithms so they're secure even against the quantum computers of the future.

NIST started the process of establishing post-quantum encryption standards in 2016, calling on cryptographers to devise encryption methods that could resist an attack from a future quantum computer.

New tools that simplify quantum complexity are reshaping physics research, drawing fresh investment, and fueling urgency ...

Quantum Computers Could Help Hackers Defeat Encryption. Here’s How to Protect Your Data New tools are available in the fight against the formidable power of quantum computers.

Rather than choosing between the two, a layered “defense-in-depth” strategy is rapidly becoming the gold standard. Combining ...

Encryption keeps marginalised groups connected and safe, but new regulatory attempts to break it put them at risk.

Signal is expanding its security measures by creating a new specification called PQXDH to protect against future quantum computers that could break encryption. The developers believe it's only a ...

Apple is upgrading iMessage's security to post-quantum cryptography in an effort to avoid future "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks.

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 ...

Quantum computers powerful enough to break public-key encryption are still years away, but when it happens, they could be a major threat to national security, and financial and private data.

US government agency on Tuesday named four technologies it expects will keep computer data secret when quantum computers are mature enough to crack today's encryption tech.
