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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at Shangai University recently made headlines for purportedly breaking the RSA encryption algorithms used in banking, military, and cryptocurrency applications. However, popular YouTuber ...
