IN a potentially alarming development for global cybersecurity, Chinese researchers have demonstrated how quantum mechanics could be used to crack classic encryption, potentially accelerating the timeline when quantum computers could pose a realistic threat to current encryption schemes.
Published in the Chinese Journal of Computers under the title "Quantum Annealing Public Key Cryptographic Attack Algorithm Based on D-Wave Advantage," the research paper describes how a working RSA public key cryptography was developed using D-Wave's Advantage quantum computer to break RSA encryption and attack symmetric encryption systems.
