Quantum computers

The complete story of the hype, panic, and misunderstanding surrounding attacks on cryptographic algorithms using quantum computers.

Where and why quantum-resistant cryptography has already been implemented, and what compatibility issues it caused.

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued the first post-quantum encryption standards — FIPS 203, FIPS 204, and FIPS 205.

Apple has released a new encryption protocol – PQ3 – for iMessage, which provides post-quantum security for instant messaging.

Everybody knows that we should prepare ourselves for a “quantum future”, but it was expected to come about in 10-20 years’ time. Is a breakthrough possible this year?

We explore how encryption protects your data and why quantum computers might shake things up.

We explain quantum computers with the help of cats and light bulbs.

Quantum computers are set to change our approaches to data encryption. When that will happen is not yet clear, but we do know when companies need to start preparing — right now.

Quantum computing and quantum communications; these concepts were invented just 30 years ago, after scientific journals refused to issue earlier publications regarding these subjects because it looked more like science-fiction.
