Rather than choosing between the two, a layered “defense-in-depth” strategy is rapidly becoming the gold standard. Combining ...

El Salvador has quietly executed one of the most forward-thinking Bitcoin security upgrades in crypto history, redistributing ...

Dr. Pravir Malik is the founder and chief technologist of QIQuantum and the Forbes Technology Council group leader for Quantum Computing. In this article, I'll briefly expand on the idea of a quantum ...

One notable example is the $34 million secured by British quantum algorithms specialist Phasecraft from a group of investors, ...

In one sign of the potential gains, a researcher at Google claimed recently to have devised a 20-fold reduction in the scale of a quantum computer that would be needed to run Shor’s algorithm, which ...

Overview: Quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin’s security by potentially compromising ECDSA signatures and SHA-256 ...

Blockchain security relies heavily on cryptographic primitives like public-key encryption, digital signatures, and hash functions. In current systems, techniques such as RSA and elliptic curve ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Once quantum computers mature, they could crack Bitcoin’s ECDSA signatures, threatening over $1 trillion in value. Both require disruptive solutions, hard forks or complex hybrid signatures, to become ...
