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 ...

A team at Google Quantum AI, led by researcher Craig Gidney, has shown that breaking RSA-2048 encryption could require roughly 20 times fewer physical qubits than previously estimated, collapsing the ...

Wang Chao and his colleagues at Shanghai University have announced that they have developed a method to break RSA encryption, a cryptography whose security is based on the difficulty of prime ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Sectigo’s Tim Callan makes his top predictions for what the year ahead will hold for quantum computing and encryption. 2023 was the year that quantum computing entered the average person’s lexicon.

Chinese scientists at Shanghai University have determined that a quantum computer from the Canadian firm D-Wave can effectively crack a popular encryption method. The paper details two technical ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...
