Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave‘s quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption RSA, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

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 ...

In today’s digital economy, where organizations rely on cloud computing, mobile technologies and data-driven decision making, securing sensitive information has never been more critical. Encryption ...

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 ...

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that someone isn’t trying to listen in on your cell phone conversation or steal your Palm Pilot beams. RSA Security Inc. announced today that suspicious ...
