Quantum Computers won’t be available for another decade. Why worry about them now, then? A cryptography expert explains.

Two popular AES libraries, aes-js and pyaes, “helpfully” provide a default IV in their AES-CTR API, leading to a large number of key/IV reuse bugs. These bugs potentially affect thousands of ...

Metaculus now expects a quantum computer to factor an RSA number by 2034. Experts warn that crypto systems may face real threats as early as 2028–2033. With PQC migration requiring years of ...

Signal’s getting ahead of the quantum curve, adding new layers of encryption to keep your chats safe from tomorrow’s supercomputers. The advent of quantum computing poses a significant threat to ...

The intersection of geometric vector decomposition methods and cryptographic applications has emerged as a foundational pillar of modern secure computation, with breakthrough advances in 2023-2025 ...

It is a long-standing habit of military historians to describe changes in warfare in terms of two biological paradigms: more or less steady evolution on the one hand and punctuated equilibrium on the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

The portly, balding sculptor-turned-architect must have drawn a few curious gazes as he set up a complicated painting apparatus in the corner of a Renaissance-era piazza. He planted his instrument, ...

Estimates among experts vary on the timetable for the arrival of “Q-Day” – the day when quantum computers are powerful enough to crack current encryption protocols. However, one thing most experts ...

Cryptography has been the backbone of security in our digital world, and it continues to grow in importance as more services, capabilities, and our lives become ever more digital. Cryptography ...
