A team at Google Quantum AI, led by researcher Craig Gidney, has shown that breaking RSA-2048 encryption could require roughly 20 times fewer physical qubits than previously estimated, collapsing the ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Encryption is an important part of keeping our digital lives ...

Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary R. James Nicholson Monday has announced that all VA computers throughout the agency will be upgraded with enhanced data security encryption systems beginning ...

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 ...

In a paper published Thursday, researchers illustrated how to access a computer's memory and scan the secret encryption keys used to scramble files. The report, titled "Lest We Remember: Cold Boot ...

Current data encryption techniques may fend off the threat of quantum computing for some time to come, security experts say. In recent years the computational potential of qubits has led many to ...

New documents leaked by Edward Snowden reveal two NSA programs that seek to build a "useful quantum computer" that can break all known forms of classical encryption. Such a quantum computer would ...

To ensure that data is kept safe and secure, all new computers are delivered with full disk encryption enabled, and computers in use prior to the data encryption initiative will be manually encrypted ...
