Two things jump to mind when it comes to encryption: It's a must-have for secure military installations, and it's a huge headache to implement among everyone else. Encryption's reputation as a ...

Quantum computers may slam into hard architectural walls long before they can crack the encryption protecting online banking, ...

Even though business is booming on the Internet, many computer users remain concerned about online security. An experiment by someDuke University computer scientistsshows that low levels of computer ...

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 ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

One of the more interesting – and some say controversial -- pieces of news to come out of the recent 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was a claim by Chinese scientists who say they’ve ...

Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

Chinese researchers have claimed a significant breakthrough in the realm of encryption, stating that they have managed to crack algorithms commonly used in banking and cryptocurrency. The team, led by ...

The U.S. National Security Agency is attempting to build a new breed of supercomputer that theoretically could make short work of cracking most keys used for encrypted communications. The project to ...

Hacking and data breaches are a cost of doing business. One defence is to use encryption, but in the fast-approaching era of quantum computers that defence will fail. When quantum computers reach ...
