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 ...

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 ...

One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security. This is premised on the fact that once there is connectivity between computers sharing some resources ...

But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

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 ...

Cybersecurity experts are awaiting the imminent announcement from the National Institute for Standards (NIST) of its recommended post-quantum cryptography (PQC) encryption algorithms — an important ...

With the increasing number of high-profile data and privacy breaches in the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, businesses and consumers have a greater awareness of the need for security when buying ...

Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.
