Today, PKC forms the foundation for e-commerce, allowing more than US$1 trillion per day in foreign exchange transactions in North America alone. 10 This technology also allows electronic banking, ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

ABSTRACT: We show that any semiprime number can be factorized as the product of two prime numbers in the form of a kernel factor pair of two out of 48 root numbers. Specifically, each natural number ...

So, you’ve probably heard a lot of buzz lately about quantum computers and how they might break RSA encryption. It sounds pretty scary, right? Like the internet as we know it is about to crumble. But ...

Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, the latest of which reports new estimates ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

The RSA algorithm is based on the mathematical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers. It involves generating a public and private key pair, where the public key is used for ...

One day soon, at a research lab near Santa Barbara or Seattle or a secret facility in the Chinese mountains, it will begin: the sudden unlocking of the world’s secrets. Your secrets. Cybersecurity ...

Abstract: We propose a public-key encryption algorithm based on torus automorphisms, which is secure, practical, and can be used for both encryption and digital signature. Software implementation and ...
