A new study shows that quantum technology will catch up with today’s encryption standards much sooner than expected. That should worry anybody who needs to store data securely for 25 years or so.

However, Chinese researchers claim to have succeeded in breaking a 50-bit RSA, a simplified version of this encryption, by exploiting qubits in a D-Wave quantum computer.

Researchers claim to have broken RSA encryption using a quantum computer, but what really happened?

In a potentially alarming development for global cybersecurity, Chinese researchers have unveiled a method using D-Wave’s quantum annealing systems to crack classic encryption, potentially ...

Flawed chipsets used by PCs to generate RSA encryption keys have a vulnerability that has weakened the security of stored passwords, encrypted disks, documents, and more. This week, researchers ...

A new research paper from a Google researcher slashed the estimated quantum resources needed to break RSA encryption, which is used by some crypto wallets.

Wired reports that RSA Security is “strongly” recommending its developers stop using the algorithm (SP 800–90A Dual Ellipctic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation) until the National ...
