A report that Chinese researchers have employed a D-Wave quantum computer to breach encryption algorithms used to secure bank accounts, top-secret military data and crypto wallets is, at first glance, ...
Nearly three decades ago, a new method for encrypting digital information transformed online security. Dubbed RSA↓ RSA stands for “Rivest–Shamir–Adleman,” the surnames of its inventors. , it exploited ...
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 ...
DEF CON 33, the world's largest security event held in Las Vegas in August 2025, Konstantinos Karagiannis, a leading expert in quantum computing and cybersecurity, gave a presentation titled ' ...
Quantum computers may one day break encryption. So might stochastic magnetic tunnel junction machines, also known as spintronics. But we don't need next-generation computing power to break encryption.
Active Cypher built a mini-quantum computer (repurposed hardware running quantum algorithms) to prove that conventional encryption (RSA + AES) is nearing the end. This is designed to be a wake-up call ...
Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic ...
