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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Your online banking, encrypted messages, and digital certificates all rely on one assumption: factoring massive numbers takes classical computers longer than the heat death of the universe. Quantum ...

As if it wasn't enough that the NSA paid RSA $10 million to adopt an algorithm that wasn't entirely secure, researchers have now demonstrated that they can break even RSA 4096 bit encryption with ...
