With growing focus on the existential threat quantum computing poses to some of the most crucial and widely used forms of ...

A working quantum computer is probably at least a decade away. The rush to adopt encryption algorithms that can withstand the ...

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 ...

On Tuesday, the U.S. finalized standards for post-quantum encryption — a move intended to ensure companies, citizens and government agencies can all stay ahead of the potential of quantum computers ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

As the federal government continues its push for mass post-quantum cryptography transitions, the Government Accountability Office offered fact-based summary and guidance. Quantum Computing Oversight ...

The first round of PQC candidate algorithms that were announced by NIST on August 24 of last year. It included one general-purpose encryption algorithm (ML-KEM) and two digital signature algorithms ...

Three NIST-approved encryption algorithms set the stage for establishing PQC strategies, which — despite quantum computing’s infancy — CISOs should begin launching given the attack techniques and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Last year I wrote a Forbes article that provided a deep dive ...

Cryptographic algorithms are the backbone of secure data and communication. When deployed correctly, public-key algorithms have generally helped safeguard data against attacks. However, industry ...
