An amateur researcher using AI agents improved a published quantum circuit for breaking ECDSA by approximately 2x, launching an open competition at ecdsa.fail to challenge researchers and AI agents to…
Governments and tech companies are racing to deploy post-quantum cryptography to protect data in transit from future quantum attacks, but experts warn that the real privacy crisis lies in data at rest…
Post-quantum certificates, specifically Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), reduce TLS handshake sizes from 14,724 bytes to as low as 4,468 bytes by batching signatures and using landmark-relative proofs…
The article explains that JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) signed with current algorithms like RS256 and ES256 are vulnerable to future quantum computer attacks, with nation-state actors already employing "harv…
A Secure Element (SE) is a tamper-resistant chip that securely stores cryptographic keys and performs operations like digital signatures and hashing, ensuring that firmware updates are authenticated b…
The article describes a single-character logic bug discovered in OpenSSL version 4.0.0's implementation of the SLH-DSA post-quantum signature algorithm. The bug occurs in the `slh_dsa_sign()` function…
