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 ...

BitLocker encrypts your hard drive and requires a key to decrypt it. Microsoft may give your key to law enforcement upon a valid request. Don't save your key to the cloud; instead, store it locally or ...

Add a description, image, and links to the python-rsa-websocket-encryption-e2ee-networking topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Mobile devices sometimes get lost. A laptop bag gets left on the bus or train, a smartphone slips out of your pocket, or a USB flash drive falls to the ground unnoticed. Losing a notebook or phone ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

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 ...

If you logged onto your bank account this morning, the security protocols still seem secure – but things are changing quickly in the tech world. A team in China just showed that the math behind RSA ...

A researcher from the Google Quantum AI research team has estimated that a quantum computer with less than a million noisy qubits could undermine the security of RSA-2048 encryption that secures ...

Current standards call for using a 2,048-bit encryption key. Over the past several years, research has suggested that quantum computers would one day be able to crack RSA encryption, but because ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...
