Chinese Scientists Hack Military-Grade Encryption Using Quantum Computer, Factorize 50-bit RSA Integer
Oct 11, 2024, 11:24 AM
Chinese scientists have reportedly hacked military-grade encryption using a quantum computer, marking what they claim is the world's first effective attack on a widely used encryption method. According to a paper from SCMPNews, the researchers used a D-Wave quantum annealing device to factorize a 50-bit RSA integer. This breakthrough raises significant concerns about the future of data security, as quantum computing has the potential to render current encryption algorithms obsolete. However, the paper has bold claims and should be approached with caution.
