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

ABSTRACT: The accelerating pace of quantum computing has drastically shortened the expected timeline for breaking classical encryption—surpassing predictions by a factor of 500 or more. Lattice-based ...

A group of lenders to private equity-backed RSA Security including BlackRock Inc. and Veritas Capital tapped advisers as the company looks to negotiate a deal over its debt load, according to people ...

There comes a time before every big purchase when you might ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” If you don’t pause for a moment — and if you tend to blow your budget as a result — then you need to ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you logged onto your bank account this morning, the security protocols still seem secure – but things are changing quickly in the tech world. A team in China just showed that the math behind RSA ...

A researcher from the Google Quantum AI research team has estimated that a quantum computer with less than a million noisy qubits could undermine the security of RSA-2048 encryption that secures ...

Current standards call for using a 2,048-bit encryption key. Over the past several years, research has suggested that quantum computers would one day be able to crack RSA encryption, but because ...

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 ...

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, ...
