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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum computing represents a major threat to encryption, and the inflection point may be less than five years away.

In today’s digital economy, where organizations rely on cloud computing, mobile technologies and data-driven decision making, securing sensitive information has never been more critical. Encryption ...

Encryption algorithms can be intimidating to approach, what’s with all the math involved. However, once you start digging into them, you can break the math apart into smaller steps, and get a feel of ...

Hackers try to find novel ways to circumvent or under­mine data encryption schemes all the time. But at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Purdue University researcher Sze ...

Microsoft is killing off an obsolete and vulnerable encryption cipher that Windows has supported by default for 26 years ...

The process — carried out in early December — generated a five-terabyte decryption table and, say the researchers, would have taken them around 1,500 years using an AMD Opteron-based single PC. The ...
