The rapid, continuing expansion of Internet and wireless based communications across open networks is creating an increasing need to encrypt the frequently sensitive or confidential data being ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read.

For example this is used to support online shopping or secure messaging, traditionally using the RSA algorithm, though increasingly an alternative called elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman. Public key ...
