In 2024, a research team claimed to have used a quantum computer to break a core part of internet security, RSA encryption, but it's not time to panic just yet.

Course Type: Pathway | Breadth Specialization: Advanced Data Structures, RSA and Quantum Algorithms Instructor: Dr. Sriram Sankaranarayanan, Professor of Computer Science Prior knowledge needed: You ...

A team of academic researchers from universities in California and Massachusetts demonstrated that it's possible under certain conditions for passive network attackers to retrieve secret RSA keys ...

The method, outlined in a scientific paper published in late December, could be used to break the RSA algorithm that underpins most online encryption using a quantum machine with only 372 qubits ...

It has long been predicted that quantum computers would make current encryption technology obsolete, and scientists said they have broken a form of RSA encryption using a D-Wave quantum computer.

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further ...
