Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognised for introducing quantum mechanics to process and transmit information ...

It's been more than 20 years since quantum cryptography systems have been developed, taking over communication security from classical cryptography systems--the kind that used extremely difficult ...

The 2026 Turing Award celebrates quantum cryptography's inventor and pioneers. Learn how their physics-based security model defends global data against next-generation quantum computers.

Unlike classical encryption, quantum communication systems are known to offer the promise of virtually unbreakable encryption. Now, new research on this topic is shaking up the long-held notion that ...

The trouble with encryption is that everyone needs it, and every threat actor wants to break it. Thankfully, current cryptographic techniques are still at least one step ahead of the cracking curve.

Over on YouTube, [The Modern Rogue] created an interesting video showing a slide-rule-like encryption device called the Réglette. This was a hardware implementation of a Vigenère-like Cipher, ...

Quantum cryptography? Pah! That's for newbies, according to researchers from Texas A&M University who claim to have pioneered unbreakable cryptography based on the laws of thermodynamics; classical ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Last year I wrote a Forbes article that provided a deep dive ...
