A paper by two dozen Chinese researchers maintains that near-future quantum computers could crack RSA-2048 encryption, but experts call the claims misleading.

A 25-year-old vulnerability that enables RSA decryption has been presented at the 28th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security. The paper, Everlasting robot: the Marvin attack ...

RSA is a public-key encryption algorithm used to encrypt and decrypt data. It relies on two different but linked keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
