The breakthrough addresses concerns that powerful quantum computers could eventually crack encryption standards to leave vulnerable financial systems, government communications, health data and media.

The JVG algorithm factors RSA and ECC keys using fewer quantum resources than Shor’s algorithm, accelerating the time needed to break today’s public-key cryptography.

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 ...

Both the founders of WhatsApp and current owner Meta state that the app uses end-to-end encryption, meaning that nobody outside the chat can access the content. A lawsuit claims that this isn’t true ...
