The race against Q-Day has begun, and success will require not just technical innovation, but the wisdom to learn from each ...

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics. In our increasingly digital lives, ...

When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient ...
