Even if someone copies your encrypted communications in their entirety at this very moment, they cannot yet read the contents ...

When we think of encryption, it often seems like a matter of complex mathematical formulas and incredibly fast computers. Of ...

Stephen Weis factored RSA-896 with Claude AI on Sept 19, 2026, pushing the public factoring record to 896 bits just 16 days after the prior mark ...

The technique still takes 1,380 CPU core-years, but that's down from the estimated 500,000 to 1 million CPU core-years it takes to factor a key.

RSA-896, a 270-digit encryption benchmark, was factored on September 19, 2026, by Anthropic engineer Stephen Weis using Claude AI and 2,048 GPUs -- making it the second AI-assisted integer ...

Eric Lu factored an 862-bit RSA key for $400K using GPUs, putting RSA-1024 cracking costs at $30M and accelerating post-quantum crypto timelines.

A UC San Diego-led team forged RSA signatures without extracting its key. But Bitcoin and Ethereum sign with a different ...

The world has known for decades that the RSA cryptosystem’s days are numbered. Once quantum computing becomes practical (estimates for that range from 3 to 20 or more years), the foundational security ...

RSA keeps getting factored. The question is what each new result tells us about the security of the encryption we still use: will the common standard of ...

Spread the loveThe quantum computing market is a fascinating, often bewildering space right now. It’s a world where the promise of revolutionary technology clashes head-on with the brutal realities of ...
