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, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

A research paper that claimed a quantum breakthrough that could "challenge RSA-2048" encryption received significant attention in the past week, followed by significant criticism as experts weighed in ...

One of the more interesting – and some say controversial -- pieces of news to come out of the recent 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was a claim by Chinese scientists who say they’ve ...

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.

Cryptography experts are somewhat skeptical of the technique’s scalability but aren’t ruling out the possibility of success either. According to a recent paper, Chinese researchers claimed to have ...

Quantum computing (QC) has long held the promise of exceeding what is possible in conventional computing. Physicists have held that a 50 qubit QC arrangement could outperform any of today's ...
