Chinese Researchers Tap Quantum to Break Encryption
October 16, 2024 at 05:52PM Researchers at Shanghai University have shown that quantum mechanics can threaten current encryption systems, using a D-Wave quantum computer to factor a 50-bit integer. While this does not endanger existing 2048-bit keys, it highlights potential cryptographic vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for organizations to adopt quantum-resistant encryption soon. ### Meeting Takeaways … Read more
