In one sign of the potential gains, a researcher at Google claimed recently to have devised a 20-fold reduction in the scale of a quantum computer that would be needed to run Shor’s algorithm, which ...

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced a ...

In cybersecurity, few threats are as paradoxical and pressing as the ones posed by quantum computing. Quantum computers differ fundamentally from today’s classical machines—a distinction that gives ...

Privacy experts typically advise using different addresses to hold digital coins. But should the Central American country ...

El Salvador has announced plans to split its vast bitcoin holdings into multiple wallets in order to protect against potential quantum attacks. The Central American country owns roughly half a billion ...

El Salvador secures its reserves by splitting holdings into multiple wallets, mitigating Bitcoin quantum security risks from future threats.

Quantum computing, when paired with Shor’s algorithm, can disrupt Bitcoin cryptographic systems as we know them. Shor’s algorithm allows quantum computers to solve complex math super fast ...

That said, a suitably equipped future quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could hypothetically break RSA within a few hours.

Shor’s algorithm teaches us an important lesson: Just because something works logically doesn’t mean it will work in practice, especially when the supporting technology is still underdeveloped ...

My understanding was that quantum safe encryption algorithms were already known prior to 1994, the year Shor discovered Shor's algorithm. More quantum safe encryption systems have been designed ...

In 1994, Peter Shor, an American mathematician working at Bell Labs, published a paper with a wonky title and earth-shaking implications. In “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization ...
