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 ...

Bitcoin depends on encryption to remain secure. This encryption protects transactions, wallets, and user funds. If the ...

If a quantum computer capable of breaking modern encryption were to come online today, Bitcoin would likely be under attack — and no one would know. “Everything would look like legitimate access,” ...

Someday, somebody, somewhere will likely have a quantum computer capable of cracking the fragile codes that underpin every piece of data we exchange over the internet. We don’t know when. It could be ...

Quantum computing may one day outperform classical machines in solving certain complex problems, but when and how this “quantum advantage” emerges has remained unclear. Now, researchers from Kyoto ...

For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough.

New research by Google suggested that RSA encryption, a critical security feature used in securing Bitcoin BTC/USD, may be more susceptible to quantum computing attacks than previously anticipated.

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 ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

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 ...

Panagiotis (Panos) Vlachos's employer, Mastercard, covers his tuition fees. He is an active volunteering member of CyberPeace Builders and ISC2's Code TaskForce. Satellites are the invisible backbone ...
