Can predicting energy levels from quantum systems be done efficiently on conventional computers? New results demonstrate this ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’re removing several SSH algorithms, adding a new algorithm, and requiring larger RSA SSH keys to improve security. Adding ML-KEM lets us offer a newer, more performant key exchange method that is ...

In an extremely uncommon move, the US government has publicly criticised an Australian government policy proposal. It wants US social media companies excluded from digital duty of care laws, which ...

AI is continuing to break records in technical fields. An Anthropic engineer says Claude ported a decades-old factoring tool to GPUs and ran it across thousands of idle chips to break RSA-896, a ...

Shor's algorithm is the reason security teams treat quantum computing as a real cryptographic risk, not science fiction. A large, fault tolerant quantum computer running Shor's algorithm could factor ...

Early on Thursday morning technical researcher Eric Lu sparked worldwide excitement and confusion by posting a sequence of 130 digits on X (formerly Twitter). The reason for the uproar over some ...

Teenagers want a greater voice in the design and governance of platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, according to new research led by University College Dublin. Rather than passive victims ...

For years, social media giants controlled what users saw in their feeds. While people could follow accounts, like posts or hide content they didn’t enjoy, recommendation algorithms controlled what was ...
