Nation-states and private companies are actively pursuing the capabilities of quantum computers. Quantum computing opens up exciting new possibilities; however, the consequences of this new technology include threats to the current cryptographic standards. These standards ensure data confidentiality and integrity Read More …
India’s military has celebrated the nation’s Independence Day by announcing it will adopt locally developed quantum key distribution (QKD) technology that can operate across distances of 150km. QKD is a technology to securely distribute encryption keys – items that could Read More …
One of the four encryption algorithms the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommended as likely to resist decryption by quantum computers has had holes kicked in it by researchers using a single core of an Intel Xeon Read More …
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms for general encryption and digital signatures. NIST, a US standards setting body and research organization within the Department of Commerce, announced the Read More …
The White House has announced a set of proposals for keeping the US ahead in the quantum computing race globally, while mitigating the risk of quantum computers that can break public-key cryptography. Quantum computers powerful enough to break public-key encryption Read More …
Post-quantum cryptography has arrived by default with the release of OpenSSH 9 and the adoption of the hybrid Streamlined NTRU Prime + x25519 key exchange method. “The NTRU algorithm is believed to resist attacks enabled by future quantum computers and Read More …
Scientists have predicted that quantum computers will one day be able to break some commonly used encryption methods. That’s why NATO and Allies are already testing post-quantum solutions. The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has successfully tested secure communication flows Read More …
Singapore is aiming to build a quantum-safe network that it hopes will showcase “crypto-agile connectivity” and facilitate trials with both public and private organisations. The initiative also includes a quantum security lab for vulnerability research. The three-year initiative is led Read More …
The chief of the United Kingdom’s foreign spy service is to warn that China and Russia are racing to master artificial intelligence in a way that could revolutionise geopolitics over the next 10 years. Richard Moore, who heads the Secret Read More …
If you’ve been following technology trends over the past few years, you’ve no doubt heard of the term “quantum computing,” which many call the next frontier for computing technologies. The promise of a computer that, on paper, has the potential Read More …
