Is it akin to the revolutionary code-breaking system from Digital Fortress called TRANSLTR? I hope it won’t.
minus-squareargv_minus_one@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year ago“128-bit” usually refers to symmetric encryption, which is not broken by Shor’s algorithm. 4096-bit RSA is what Shor’s algorithm needs to break, and it’s going to take a lot more than 70 qubits to do that. Like, two orders of magnitude more.
