When it comes to public key cryptography, most systems today are still stuck in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, two events occurred that would change the world: Paramount Pictures released Saturday ...

Today, April 24, Giancarlo Lelli, an Italian researcher, was awarded a one-Bitcoin prize after the world’s largest ...

Elliptic curves are among the more beguiling objects in modern mathematics. They don’t seem complicated, but they form an expressway between the math that many people learn in high school and research ...

A quantum computer was able to break a 15-bit elliptic-curve cryptographic key, according to the quantum computing security ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner than previously stated.

Editor's note: See the original article on PurpleAlientPlanet. Some of my research is focused on the implementation issues of elliptic curve cryptography on embedded systems. Since I often have to ...
