New Google Cloud tool fights future quantum attacks

Muhammad Zulhusni — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Google Cloud has added new post-quantum encryption options to its Key Management Service (Cloud KMS). The update is currently in preview and introduces support for post-quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) – a form of encryption built to resist attacks from cryptographically relevant quantum computers. Cloud KMS is a managed service that lets users create, use, […]

Avishai Sharlin, Amdocs: The rise of post-quantum computing in the fight between good and evil

Duncan MacRae — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:18:00 +0000

Recent advancements in quantum computing, including improvements in qubit count, coherence time and gate fidelity, have yet to provide a practical edge over classical computers. That was the conclusion of Forrester’s 2024 Quantum Computing Trends report. Quantum systems remain experimental and are unable to deliver the large-scale results needed to rival traditional computing methods. So […]
