Wang Chao and his colleagues at Shanghai University have announced that they have developed a method to break RSA encryption, a cryptography whose security is based on the difficulty of prime ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

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 ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Computer security experts were struggling this week to assess a startling claim by Chinese researchers that ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...
