Quantum computing presents both a potential breakthrough and a cryptographic threat -- one that Microsoft is tackling through what it calls "progress towards next‑generation cryptography." In a post ...

Cryptography often intimidates developers due to its mathematical complexity, yet it forms the backbone of modern computer security—from HTTPS connections to payment processing. While you don't need a ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For thousands of years, if you wanted to send a secret message, there was basically one way to do it. You’d scramble the message using a ...
