When that break occurs, the mathematics behind the code moves instantly. Organizations, however, do not move so fast.

That mismatch is creating a risk most organizations are not tracking: cryptographic debt—the accumulated risk and cost that ...

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies ...

Koehler and his colleagues have maintained pyca/cryptography for 12 years since 2014, and have relied on OpenSSL for its core cryptographic algorithms throughout that time. However, they are ...

Quantum computers may become a security threat as early as next year, and that threat will continue to grow over the next several years.

Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave‘s quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption RSA, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...

Quantum computing is no longer a distant research project—it’s steadily moving toward real-world capability. While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers aren’t ...

Proof-of-work (PoW), or Nakamoto consensus, is a decentralized consensus mechanism that secures a blockchain by requiring nodes to expend energy and compete against each other to solve complex ...

Card-based cryptographic protocols employ physical playing cards to facilitate secure multiparty computations without the need for electronic devices. These protocols allow participants to perform ...

Learn the difference between economic and cryptographic finality in Web3 and how each impacts transaction settlement, security, and network design.
