Computer scientists say they've developed a new encryption method designed to defend sensitive data from one of the biggest looming threats in cybersecurity: quantum computers powerful enough to crack today's cryptographic systems. In a study published Feb ...

All US federal agencies will have to complete their post-quantum cryptography transition by 2031, according to a new Trump Executive Order

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales.

An Ontario aerospace and defence startup is aiming to solve what may be the biggest threat to secure communications by using quantum technology based in space.

As artificial intelligence fuels a surge in convincing deepfakes and quantum computing advances toward real-world use, researchers have developed a quantum-safe encryption system designed to protect digital content from the next generation of cyberattacks.

The quantum threat is accelerating significantly. It's time to have a fresh look at the current state of affairs and what we're doing about it.
