Attackers are collecting signed data today to crack with quantum computers later. WD is reacting and exchanging cryptographic signatures.

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

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

A new study suggests that breaking RSA encryption with quantum computers may require 20 times fewer resources than previously thought. Although Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography, it remains ...

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 ...

RSA certificates still vulnerable to 2019 flaw, reaearchers say. Update, March 20, 2025: This story, originally published March 17, has been updated with a statement from RSA regarding the encryption ...

Blockchain encryption is the key to making blockchain systems safe and reliable. As our world becomes more digital and decentralized, encryption helps protect data and keeps everything running well.

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...
