Chinese researchers at Shanghai University say they’ve inched towards cracking military-grade encryption — with the help of a quantum computer. SPNs are used in algorithms tasked with protecting ...

Active Cypher built a mini-quantum computer (repurposed hardware running quantum algorithms) to prove that conventional encryption (RSA + AES) is nearing the end. This is designed to be a wake-up call ...

Security concerns are one of the key obstacles to the adoption of new non-volatile main memory (NVMM) technology in next-generation computers, which would improve computer start times and boost memory ...

Researchers from MIT say that they have developed the world’s first five-atom quantum computer, and they assert that it is capable of cracking today’s traditional encryption methods—today’s most ...

This award recognizes the outstanding young computer professional of the year for a recent major technical or service contribution that was made at 35 years of age or less. Brent Waters of The ...

Much of the encryption world today depends on the challenge of factoring large numbers, but scientists now say they’ve created the first five-atom quantum computer with the potential to crack the ...

The National Security Agency wants to build a futuristic super computer that can break most types of encryption, according to documents obtained from Edward Snowden by the Washington Post. No reason ...

New documents leaked by Edward Snowden reveal two NSA programs that seek to build a "useful quantum computer" that can break all known forms of classical encryption. Such a quantum computer would ...

Researchers atMIT and theUniversity of Innsbruck last week announced that they had designed and constructed the world’s first scalable quantum computer, a development that could make existing ...

This is such a cool, classic hack -- and illustrates in the best way possible how clever people can always find a way to bypass encryption. The solution may be as simple as social engineering or as ...
