The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, ...

Quantum computing could lead to revolutions in cryptography, materials design and telecommunications. But fulfilling those ...

The US government plans to invest $2 billion in quantum computing companies as private funding drops sharply and geopolitical ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of ...

GRANITE BAY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2026 / HIPAA also requires healthcare providers and organizations to implement specific administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

However, Quantum Day (Q-Day) is different. Q-Day is the moment a quantum computer becomes powerful enough to break the ...

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to arXiv.org. Another prevalent form of encryption, RSA–2048, would require 100 ...

The standard assumption is that Q-Day, when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will be able to break today's encryption, is still several years away. However, this misses the point.

A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...
