How end-to-end encryption is the wall that keeps our digital secrets safe – and why modern life would be unimaginable without ...

Nicholas Merrill has spent his career fighting government surveillance. But he would really rather you didn’t call what he’s selling now a “burner phone.” Yes, he dreams of a future where anyone in ...

WhatsApp is rolling out passkey-encrypted backups for iOS and Android devices, enabling users to encrypt their chat history using their fingerprint, face, or a screen lock code. Passkeys are a ...

U.S. government information networks handling controlled unclassified and national security information are under continual cyber attack by sophisticated peer and near-peer adversaries. Evolving cyber ...

Cybersecurity has always had to keep pace with the evolution of cyberattacks. These attacks started gaining prominence in the late 80s, in line with the spread of internet access. Initially, viruses, ...

Do you remember the early days of social media? The promise of connection, of democratic empowerment, of barriers crumbling and gates opening? In those heady days, the co-founder of Twitter said that ...

If you logged onto your bank account this morning, the security protocols still seem secure – but things are changing quickly in the tech world. A team in China just showed that the math behind RSA ...

A researcher from the Google Quantum AI research team has estimated that a quantum computer with less than a million noisy qubits could undermine the security of RSA-2048 encryption that secures ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

New research shows that RSA-2048 encryption could be cracked using a one-million-qubit system by 2030, 20x faster than previous estimates. Here’s what it means for enterprise security. A quantum ...

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 ...
