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 ...

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 ...

In 1991, the cybersecurity company, RSA Laboratories in Bedford, Massachusetts published a list of 54 increasingly large numbers that it had created by multiplying two prime numbers together. It then ...

Chinese researchers claim to have figured out an algorithm that can use existing quantum computers to decrypt classical encryption heralding the age of quantum hacking writes Satyen K. Bordoloi. Is ...

RSA is a cryptographic technique that utilizes a public key to encrypt information and a private key to decrypt them. Breaching the RSA-2048 algorithm requires, similar to other algorithms in the RSA ...

A top boffin has discovered a way to use his smartphone or Linux computer to crack RSA-2048 encryption. Dr. Ed Gerck is preparing a research paper with the details but couldn't hold off from telling ...

Quantum computing (QC) has long held the promise of exceeding what is possible in conventional computing. Physicists have held that a 50 qubit QC arrangement could outperform any of today's ...

Las Vegas — Within five years the math for cracking encryption algorithms could become so efficient that it may render today’s commonly used RSA public key cryptography algorithm obsolete, Black Hat ...
