Google researchers say cracking RSA encryption now needs 20x fewer qubits than previously estimated. Bitcoin uses ECC and SHA-256, which are stronger than RSA, but the timeline for cracking them may ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

Giancarlo Lelli wins one Bitcoin for record quantum security attack.

New research from Google shows that quantum computers could require far less resources than previously thought to break the cryptography that secures cryptocurrency blockchains. Google’s new research, ...

The recent Project Eleven bounty for quantum computers cracking cryptographic keys is a joke. It provides no serious incentive at all. Recently, Project Eleven (a quantum computing research group) ...
