Quantum computers may crack RSA encryption with fewer qubits than expected…

A team of researchers has outlined advances in quantum computer algorithms and error correction methods that could allow such computers to crack Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) encryption keys... the development suggests that encryption experts need to begin work toward developing next-generation #encryption techniques... #quantumcomputers #quantumphysics #qubits

Researchers find we’ll need 20 times fewer qubits to break conventional encryption than previously believed.

A new paper puts a fire under DevOps, IT teams and anyone else using modern RSA—or similar public-key cryptosystems. Factoring big primes now seems much, much easier for #QuantumComputers than we thought even a few years ago.

Of course, the Devil is in the details. In #SBBlogwatch, we never shy away from detail.

#NIST Selects #HQC as Fifth Algorithm for Post #Quantum #Encryption
HQC is the latest algorithm chosen by NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography project, which has overseen efforts since 2016 to head off potential threats from #quantumcomputers. HQC will take its place alongside the four algorithms NIST selected previously. Three of those algorithms have been incorporated into finished standards, including #MLKEM, which forms the core of the standard called #FIPS203.
