Google Cloud has announced quantum-safe digital signatures in Google Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) for software-based keys as a way to bulletproof encryption systems against the threat posed by cryptographically-relevant quantum computers

Computing Giant Warns Against Future Decryption of Secure CommunicationsGoogle adopted quantum-safe digital signatures for its cloud environment designed to help users combat the next phase of adversarial attacks. The announcement from the company comes days after Microsoft unveiled its latest quantum chip. NIST formalized the algorithms in August 2024.

Regulators Say NIST's 2035 Deadline for Insecure Encryption Could Be Too LateAustralia has rolled out an ambitious roadmap to prepare for future quantum-enabled cyberattacks. Regulators are ready to set an end date for several existing encryption algorithms in 2030 - five years earlier than the deadline set by National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that ASCON is the winning bid for the "lightweight cryptography" program to find the best algorithm to protect small IoT (Internet of Things) devices with limited hardware resources. [...]

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced that a family of authenticated encryption and hashing algorithms known as Ascon will be standardized for lightweight cryptography applications

NIST's nifty new algorithm looks like it's in trouble One of the four encryption algorithms the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommended as likely to resist decryption by quantum computers has has holes kicked in it by researchers using a single core of an Intel Xeon CPU, released in 2013.…

With the world potentially less than a decade away from breaking current encryption around critical data, researchers weigh in on planning for the post-quantum world.

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen the first set of quantum-resistant encryption algorithms that are designed to "withstand the assault of a future quantum computer." The post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technologies include the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm for general encryption, and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+ for digital
