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.
