Quantum Computer Could Crack Internet Encryption in Days, Study Says
Original: A Quantum Computer Could Crack Major Internet Encryption in Just 3 Days, Study Suggests
A new study suggests a sufficiently advanced quantum computer could break RSA encryption, the technology securing much of the internet, in as little as three days. The claim renews debate over how urgently governments and companies need to adopt post-quantum cryptography before quantum machines become powerful enough to threaten banking, messaging and other secure communications.
Why now: Fresh research suggesting quantum computers are far closer to breaking widely used encryption than previously assumed.
