Getting input from users is one of the first skills every Python programmer learns. Whether you’re building a console app, validating numeric data, or collecting values in a GUI, Python’s input() ...

Multiplication in Python may seem simple at first—just use the * operator—but it actually covers far more than just numbers. You can use * to multiply integers and floats, repeat strings and lists, or ...

There was a lot of excitement when Apple finally brought RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging to iPhone a little over a year ago. The new standard permanently upgraded the process of sending ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

For the last two days my inbox (and LinkedIn messages) has been flooded with questions about headlines claiming that “Chinese researchers broke RSA encryption with a quantum computer, threatening ...

If you logged onto your bank account this morning, the security protocols still seem secure – but things are changing quickly in the tech world. A team in China just showed that the math behind RSA ...

Cipher | Decipher is a travelling exhibit now at the Naval Museum of Alberta. It includes an authentic Engima machine from the Second World War. Organizers say the exhibit teaches visitors how ...

A researcher from the Google Quantum AI research team has estimated that a quantum computer with less than a million noisy qubits could undermine the security of RSA-2048 encryption that secures ...

Current standards call for using a 2,048-bit encryption key. Over the past several years, research has suggested that quantum computers would one day be able to crack RSA encryption, but because ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, ...

New research shows that RSA-2048 encryption could be cracked using a one-million-qubit system by 2030, 20x faster than previous estimates. Here’s what it means for enterprise security. A quantum ...
