For the last two days my inbox (and LinkedIn messages) has been flooded with questions about headlines claiming that “Chinese researchers broke RSA encryption with a quantum computer, threatening ...

The experts have weighed in: Non-fungible tokens are dumb as hell. The annual RSA Conference brings together some of the brightest minds in cryptography to discuss advances in the field, the year's ...

RSA is an encryption technique developed in the late 1970s that involves generating public and private keys; the former is used for encryption and the latter decryption. Current standards call for ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as ...

The famous cryptographers Leonard Adleman, Ronald Rivest, and Adi Shamir – the developers of the RSA encryption code – received the Association for Computing Machinery’s 2002 Turing Award “for their ...

Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

Just weeks after US president Joe Biden signed into law the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, there are reports that Chinese researchers have cracked RSA 2048 bit encryption. Given ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

Vince Berk is the Chief Strategist at Quantum Xchange, a post-quantum crypto-agility provider. Ph.D. in AI/ML, founder of FlowTraq. A recent paper from Chinese researchers claiming that they can break ...
