The EU plans to make digital encryption completely quantum-safe by 2035 at the latest. As quantum computers grow more and more powerful, qbit by qbit, experts on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) have laid a basis for secure encryption in recent years with new algorithms. But if they are to win the race by 2035, they have their work cut out… Read more »

Project 11 has started a competition on: Can you break ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) by means of Shor’s Algorithm? Project 11 is an applied lab of builders and technologists at the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography formed in 2024 with the foresight of the coming collision of these two foundational digital technologies.[…] – Alex Pruden,… Read more »
On 4 March, a research team led by Professor Jintai Ding, Dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), set a new code-breaking world record for the Lattice Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in the International Open Darmstadt SVP Challenge. This marks a significant achievement in strengthening cybersecurity in the age… Read more »
