The new algorithm behaves well on a much broader range. “I’m really happy someone did it,” said Thomas Espitau, a cryptography researcher at the company PQShield and an author of the 2021 ...

At Microsoft’s BUILD 2025 conference on Monday, the company announced the availability of quantum-resistant algorithms to SymCrypt, the core cryptographic code library in Windows. The updated ...

A factorization method known as Shor’s algorithm makes it theoretically possible to solve these types of problems. That, in turn, means certain death for many of the cryptographic schemes now ...

Mainstream encryption in use today may become vulnerable within years instead of decades after Chinese researchers proposed a new code-breaking algorithm to run on a small quantum computer built ...
