Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient quantum computers can be manufactured in near future, many of the current ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

A simple geometric idea has been used to power advances in information theory, cryptography and even blockchain technology. But while the work has generated a lot of excitement among pure ...

Quantum cryptography is back in the news, and the basic idea is still unbelievably cool, in theory, and nearly useless in real life. The idea behind quantum crypto is that two people communicating ...

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Not many people are dedicated to the study and application of quantum-resistant or post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in Taiwan, but one young data scientist at Academia Sinica ...
