New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

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 ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, the latest of which reports new estimates ...
