Many embedded systems depend on obscurity to achieve security. We often design systems to download unsigned or unencrypted firmware upgrades or store unencrypted user data, a practice we justify ...
RSA, the internet security firm, has advised its customers not to use a particular encryption algorithm after fears it could be unlocked by the US National Security Agency (NSA). In an advisory note ...
But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings ...
Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.
According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...
In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...
