One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Chinese researchers have claimed a significant breakthrough in the realm of encryption, stating that they have managed to crack algorithms commonly used in banking and cryptocurrency. The team, led by ...

Chinese boffins have used a D-Wave quantum computer to mount a successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms. The advance, led by Wang Chao of Shanghai University, poses a “real and ...

An encryption algorithm designed to protect calls on GSM phones has been broken by three cryptographers using only a dual-core, Intel -based Dell Latitude PC running Linux. In a paper released Tuesday ...

BLACK HAT EUROPE 2023 – London – Researchers from Microsoft, its GitHub subsidiary, and Spain-based Banco Santander here today released a set of open source tools that identify and pinpoint weak ...

We all thought banking and military security was impenetrable? That was, until Chinese researchers used a D-Wave quantum computer to execute what they claim as the first successful quantum attack on ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...
