长期以来，在量子计算领域，关于“Shor算法（用于破解现代加密体系的算法）”的资源估计一直是悬在行业头顶的达摩克利斯之剑。传统的资源估算认为，要破解RSA-2048加密系统，至少需要数百万个物理量子比特。这种“天文数字”量级的硬件需求，让很多人认为实 ...

The encryption protecting global banking, government communications, and digital identity does not fail when a quantum ...

Researchers affiliated with Caltech and the quantum computing startup Oratomic have published a preprint claiming that Shor’s ...

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.

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 ...

Three weeks ago, panic swept across some corners of the security world after researchers discovered a breakthrough that, at long last, put the cracking of the widely used RSA encryption scheme within ...

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 ...

A research paper that claimed a quantum breakthrough that could "challenge RSA-2048" encryption received significant attention in the past week, followed by significant criticism as experts weighed in ...

Just weeks after US president Joe Biden signed into law the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act, there are reports that Chinese researchers have cracked RSA 2048 bit encryption. Given ...
