The RSA algorithm (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a public key cryptosystem that uses a pair of keys to secure digital communication and transactions over insecure networks, such as the internet. RSA is a ...

Google DeepMind has published new research showing that AI agents, working under human supervision, can dramatically accelerate cryptanalysis — the discipline of ...

French quantum computing startup Alice & Bob estimates that 23,000 cat qubits could break RSA-2048 encryption in three days, while 30,000 could defeat blockchain ...

A co-author of the RSA encryption algorithm has been named the 2007 Marconi Fellow and prizewinner for his pioneering work in the field of cryptography, computer and network security. Ronald L. Rivest ...

IBM Quantum System One – the first circuit-based commercial quantum computer. (IBM/Cleveland Clinic) Much of our online ...

Ask a developer whether to encrypt a database with AES-256 or RSA and you’ll often get a confused pause. The two algorithms get compared constantly in interviews, security audits, and Stack Overflow ...

Cryptographers have been chipping away at RSA factoring records for decades, but the pace just got uncomfortably fast. On September 19, 2026, researcher Stephen A. Weis factored RSA-896, a 270-decimal ...

RSA-2048, the high-end encryption protecting your bank accounts and data online, can be cracked ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...
