Last week’s hot topic was the successful acquisition of the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) officially assigned number – 4590 for the post-quantum cryptography hybrid algorithm SM2MLKEM768 by the Zero Trust Browser in collaboration with Alibaba Tonglock SSL. Both the Tonglock cryptography open-source project public account and the Zero Trust Cryptography Application Research Institute public … Read more
Quantum mechanics combined with information science leads to quantum informatics, which includes three fundamental directions. Besides quantum computing, there are also quantum communication and quantum precision measurement. In quantum communication, the most researched and applied area is quantum cryptography. The door to quantum cryptography was opened by three scientists who first proposed several innovative ideas … Read more
Editor & Proofreading & Illustration: YXG (Editor) Introduction So far, there have been three industrial revolutions in human history. The first industrial revolution began with the invention of the steam engine. Its core was converting chemical energy (coal) into mechanical energy (steam engine), allowing people to no longer rely solely on animal power, water power, … Read more

Challenges of Traditional Cryptography For many, cryptography seems to be an esoteric discipline, cleverly transforming information so that it is meaningless to everyone except the intended recipient. In fact, cryptography is ubiquitous in daily life, from websites to various communication apps, all requiring cryptography or encryption technologies to protect the privacy of information. For example, … Read more
In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and the Internet of Things, the volume of data has continued to rise. At the same time, the number of cybercrimes has also increased, leading to escalating losses. According to statistics from research institutions like Statista and Cybersecurity Ventures, the total … Read more
NEWS First AI Medical School Established in China On June 29, the first AI Medical School in China, the AI Medical School of Guangdong Medical University, was officially established. The AI Medical School is the first “virtual-real integration, software-hardware unified” intelligent medical college built in cyberspace based on the HarmonyOS ecosystem, parallel to real-world medical … Read more
Commvault has added the HQC algorithm to its platform to complement the potential security vulnerabilities of ML-KEM, aiming to provide customers with comprehensive protection that allows for “data collection before decryption.” Commvault has expanded its support for post-quantum cryptography on its platform, as current encryption algorithms will inevitably be compromised—whether the time has come is … Read more
Researchers from KU Leuven have proposed an efficient key recovery attack method against the SIDH protocol, capable of breaking the SIKE post-quantum cryptographic algorithm using a standard single-core CPU in just one hour. The key encapsulation mechanism is a protocol that securely exchanges symmetric keys using asymmetric cryptographic techniques. SIKE (Supersingular Isogeny Key Encapsulation) is … Read more
Microsoft’s latest Majorana 1 quantum chip is the world’s first quantum processor based on a topological architecture, with its core technology revolving around Majorana fermions (a theoretically predicted subatomic particle with both particle and antiparticle characteristics).This chip successfully constructs a new state of matter called a “topological conductor” by combining semiconductor indium arsenide with superconducting … Read more
