Quantum computing won’t break Bitcoin in 2026, but attackers are already preparing. Here’s how crypto is moving toward post-quantum security, and how ready it is.

The system employs HMAC-SHA256 (Hash-based Message Authentication Code using SHA-256) for license integrity verification. SHA-256 refers to the Secure Hash Algorithm producing 256-bit hash values (see ...

Solana and Aptos developers started testing new “quantum-safe” security this week, aiming to protect their blockchains from future attacks by powerful quantum computers. SOL USD traded around $126 ...

Charles Edwards warns that quantum computing could depress Bitcoin price below $50,000 if the network does not address ...

Hashing transforms data into a fixed-length cryptographic fingerprint that ensures integrity and authenticity. Every block in a blockchain contains its own hash and the previous block’s hash, forming ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Abstract: The secure hash algorithm (SHA) is a widely used function for password hashing. This study introduced a modified SHA-512 algorithm by modifying the message scheduling, hash construction, and ...

Infineon Technologies says that its microcontrollers (MCUs) in the new PSOC™ Control C3 Performance Line family are compliant with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) requirements for firmware protection ...

In cryptography, **SHA-256** (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a patented cryptographic hash function that outputs a value that is 256 bits long. It is a member of the SHA-2 family of algorithms, ...
