Cloudflare announced plans to issue quantum-safe TLS certificates as part of a major overhaul of website authentication, using post-quantum cryptography to protect data from future quantum computer attacks.
Researchers have discovered a new method to break RSA encryption that is faster than the previously known factoring approach, challenging the long-held assumption that factoring is the primary threat to RSA's security.
The White House has issued an executive order warning of national security risks if post-quantum cryptography isn't adopted in time, drastically shortening the deadline for federal agencies to transition away from quantum-vulnerable encryption.
A new open-source tool called Mneme lets you store AI memory on your own device, encrypted and accessible across different AI platforms. It's designed to give users full control over their data, unlike many existing AI memory products.
A ransomware family has adopted post-quantum cryptography (PQC), making it the first to be quantum-safe. The move, though currently impractical, signals a concerning trend in cybersecurity.
Major tech companies are accelerating their adoption of post-quantum cryptography, but progress remains uneven. This shift is crucial to protect against future quantum computing threats.
Quantum computers can break vital encryption with fewer resources than thought. This increases the threat to elliptic curve cryptosystems.
