Many embedded systems depend on obscurity to achieve security. We often design systems to download unsigned or unencrypted firmware upgrades or store unencrypted user data, a practice we justify ...

The Advanced Quantum Technologies Institute (AQTI) today highlighted newly published research describing a breakthrough quantum computing approach that may significantly compress the expected timeline ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Every time you send a text, pay for groceries with your phone, or use your health site, you are relying on encryption.

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...
