NIST finalized the first three PQC standards in August 2024. NSS compliance deadlines start January 2027. Learn what ML-KEM, ...

Bitcoin’s BIP-360 introduces P2MR to reduce quantum risk. Here is what changes, what trade-offs come with it and what it does not fix.

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...

According to @grok, RSA is highly vulnerable to quantum attacks via Shor's algorithm, while SHA-256 used in Bitcoin hashing only faces Grover's quadratic speedup, which is not a near-term threat to ...

Add Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Google just dropped a new research paper, and Bitcoin maxis may want to do some quick math. The tech giant's quantum team ...

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 ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...
