A new quantum algorithm published yesterday on the IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive cut qubit and circuit complexity required to break the elliptic curve encryption protecting most of today's internet ...
RSA succeeded beyond what its creators could have imagined. But as we approach its 50th anniversary, we are also approaching ...
RSA-896, a 270-digit encryption benchmark, was factored on September 19, 2026, by Anthropic engineer Stephen Weis using Claude AI and 2,048 GPUs -- making it the second AI-assisted integer ...
Stephen Weis factored RSA-896 with Claude AI on Sept 19, 2026, pushing the public factoring record to 896 bits just 16 days after the prior mark ...
Eric Lu factored an 862-bit RSA key for $400K using GPUs, putting RSA-1024 cracking costs at $30M and accelerating post-quantum crypto timelines.
RSA signature attack exploits unpadded signing in hardware modules, highlighting cryptographic transition toward post-quantum ...
The world has known for decades that the RSA cryptosystem’s days are numbered. Once quantum computing becomes practical (estimates for that range from 3 to 20 or more years), the foundational security ...
The RSA encryption algorithm may be even more endangered now, courtesy of University of California, San Diego and Inria Nancy researchers. Cyber Security News reported that a new signature forgery ...
The technique still takes 1,380 CPU core-years, but that's down from the estimated 500,000 to 1 million CPU core-years it takes to factor a key. Reading time 2 minutes The RSA encryption algorithm may ...
Vitalik Buterin warns that AI could compromise lattice cryptography within two years, prompting Ethereum to adopt hash-based signatures for protection.
