Record quantum break: Giancarlo Lelli cracked a 15-bit ECC key on public quantum hardware, a 512x leap over the 2025 record. Crypto assets at risk: Around 6.9M Bitcoins and $2.5T in ECC-protected ...

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

Researcher breaks ECC key using quantum hardware, raising concerns about Bitcoin security and urging faster shift to post-quantum protection systems.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has selected four candidates to form the basis of future data-protection technologies to resist attack by quantum computers, the US science agency ...

A new analysis by Project Eleven warns that “Q-Day,” the hypothetical point when quantum computers can break widely used ...

While the dawn of quantum computing may still be years away, federal agencies are facing a future threat that has already arrived. Adversaries are actively stealing encrypted government information ...

“Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), as one of the public key cryptography systems, has been widely applied to many security applications. It is challenging to implement a scalar multiplication (SM) ...

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...
