A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security. This is premised on the fact that once there is connectivity between computers sharing some resources ...

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 ...

Many people worry that quantum computers will be able to crack certain codes used to send secure messages. The codes in question encrypt data using “trapdoor” mathematical functions that work easily ...

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 ...

Flawed chipsets used by PCs to generate RSA encryption keys have a vulnerability that has weakened the security of stored passwords, encrypted disks, documents, and more. This week, researchers from ...
