Quantum computing's rapid advancements pose an urgent threat to the security of digital assets and financial systems.

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

Alex Pruden said the asymmetry between acting on a post-quantum signature scheme today and waiting for certainty about quantum-computing hardware timelines means Bitcoin developers should move from ...

Microchip is expanding its portfolio of Trust Shield devices. The new post‑quantum cryptography (PQC)‑ready chips are the TS1800 Platform Root of Trust controller and the TS50x secure boot controller.

Project Eleven, a quantum security research company, awarded a prize to researcher Giancarlo Lelli for using a quantum computer to break a 15-bit elliptic-curve key — a small-scale version of the same ...

Researcher breaks 15-bit ECC key on publicly accessible quantum hardware in a 512x jump from the previous public demonstration. "The resource requirements for this type of attack keep dropping, and ...

Independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli has derived a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, Project Eleven said. This is the “largest quantum attack” on elliptic curve ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has gained significant popularity due to its efficiency and security. Choosing the right elliptic curve is crucial for ensuring the robustness of your cryptographic ...

As the joke goes, CRQC has been 10 to 20 years away for the past three decades. While the recent research suggests that steady progress is being made, the chances of CRQCs arriving before 2035 remain ...

Elliptic curve cryptography is used to secure authentication, for digital signatures such as those used in software updates, and for cryptocurrencies. So now Google and Cloudflare have moved up the ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using neutral-atom quantum computers. The researchers es ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.
