AES-256 remains the gold standard for high-stakes data encryption. While other, more lightweight and less-energy-intensive encryption methods do exist, they operate with multiple trade-offs in ...

The “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” hacking strategy relies on the belief that the world is only a few years away from ...

The JVG algorithm factors RSA and ECC keys using fewer quantum resources than Shor’s algorithm, accelerating the time needed ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

The breakthrough addresses concerns that powerful quantum computers could eventually crack encryption standards to leave vulnerable financial systems, government communications, health data and media.

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...

Tech firms are floating the idea of building data centers in space and tapping into the sun's energy to meet out-of-this-world power demands in a fierce artificial intelligence race. Elon Musk's ...

State Sen. Janeen Sollman says she plans to pull language from a bill that could have dramatically increased the value of tax breaks for Oregon data centers. Senate Bill 1586 is one of the major ...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has made a career of mainstreaming terrible ideas, but his proposed moratorium on data center construction might be his worst yet. “We have not a clue. We are totally ...

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented demand for computing power, electricity and cooling, pushing cloud providers to the limits of traditional, land-based data ...

President Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer he would consider restoring funding for the Hudson River Tunnel project if lawmakers backed renaming at least two transit hubs after him, ...
