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 ...
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 is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...
