The head of global investment research at Coinbase says that quantum computing poses significant risks to Bitcoin's security.

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Abstract: This paper presents a lightweight hardware accelerator optimized for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), supporting three standardized curves over the prime field GF($2^{255}-19$ ): ...

ABSTRACT: We introduce an algorithm which allows us to prove that there exists an infinite number of matrix strong Diophantine 540-tuples with positive integers as entries. We construct matrix ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about how bitcoin, crypto and blockchain can change the world. The bitcoin price has dropped under $100,000 per bitcoin, ...

Quantum computing has long been portrayed as a looming threat to cybersecurity. Headlines warn of “Q-Day”—the moment when quantum machines will render today’s encryption useless. But behind the hype ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a public-key cryptography technique based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. Select an elliptic curve equation ( y^2 = x^3 + ax + b ...

The portly, balding sculptor-turned-architect must have drawn a few curious gazes as he set up a complicated painting apparatus in the corner of a Renaissance-era piazza. He planted his instrument, ...
