Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave‘s quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption RSA, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...

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 ...

In 1994, a Bell Labs mathematician named Peter Shor cooked up an algorithm with frightening potential. By vastly reducing the computing resources required to factor large numbers—to break them down ...

As technological advancements surge forward, the specter of quantum computing looms ever larger. While the promise of quantum computers holds the potential to revolutionize fields like weather ...

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 ...

Quantum-resistant tokens explained Quantum-resistant tokens use advanced cryptographic methods to protect against the powerful capabilities of quantum computers. Quantum-resistant tokens are a new ...

A team of academic researchers from universities in California and Massachusetts demonstrated that it’s possible under certain conditions for passive network attackers to retrieve secret RSA keys from ...
