RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

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 ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

Attackers are harvesting your encrypted data today to decrypt with quantum computers tomorrow. Your 2019 VPN sessions, emails ...

Researchers affiliated with Caltech and the quantum computing startup Oratomic have published a preprint claiming that Shor’s ...

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.

Cybersecurity experts are awaiting the imminent announcement from the National Institute for Standards (NIST) of its recommended post-quantum cryptography (PQC) encryption algorithms — an important ...

Imagine if, tomorrow, someone invented a “digital skeleton key” that could unlock any keyless entry system. Overnight, millions of door locks, garages and practically every modern vehicle would become ...

With the increasing number of high-profile data and privacy breaches in the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, businesses and consumers have a greater awareness of the need for security when buying ...

For smaller networks on which keys can be manually defined, IKE preshared keys (PSKs) can be used. PSKs are manually defined in the IKE policy of each crypto endpoint. Once crypto and ISAKMP policies ...
