Advances in quantum computing, coupled with the rise of “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies among cybercriminals, are heightening the urgency to safeguard data and networks. This has been underscored by several recent high-profile breaches, including in October 2025, when it was revealed that “vast amounts” of classified UK government data had been taken in a […]

Advances in quantum computers mean elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) techniques will likely be cracked in about five years. These advances not only include processing power (IBM’s Kookaburra processor is set to exceed 4,000 qubits later this year), but also in error correction. As an example, Google’s Willow is a 105 qubit computer and these error […]
