Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...

Google researchers have shown that breaking the encryption of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum requires 20x ...

Google warned that quantum advances could break crypto security sooner than expected, with analysts recommending ‘appropriate ...

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner ...

We all know the usual jokes about the ‘S’ in ‘IoT’ standing for ‘Security’. It’s hardly a secret that security in embedded, networked devices (‘IoT devices’) is all too often a last-minute task that ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

The clock is ticking on cryptocurrency.

When it comes to public key cryptography, most systems today are still stuck in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, two events occurred that would change the world: Paramount Pictures released Saturday ...

Editor's note: See the original article on PurpleAlientPlanet. Some of my research is focused on the implementation issues of elliptic curve cryptography on embedded systems. Since I often have to ...
