ALL INTERNET TRAFFIC IS EXPOSED
ALL SSH KEYS ARE COMPROMISED
KNEEL TO YOUR CHINESE OVERLORDS

I'm just glad China did this as opposed to a bad actor.

ever heard of a for-loop?

>>106017725
does the US reveal it's military capabilities to their fullest extent?

>>106017734
it's the fucking US government, they don't have capabilities. nobody with skills would work for them considering the ludicrous pay from the private sector.

>>106017743
which is why they contract the private sector

>>106017698 (OP)

so moonrune people can read encrypted messages what next are they going to speak languages like native and phone orders

>>106017758
they can login to any server with exposed ssh.
they can crack crypto wallets based on public transactions.
they can pose as any git users and inject malicious authentic looking commits.

btw i knew this was broken already, it was obvious the moment bitcoins moved from the satoshi wallet

>>106017799
>it was obvious the moment bitcoins moved from the satoshi wallet
oh fuck
you might be right

>>106017825
>>106017799
If they really break it, it won't be bitcoin that moves first.

By the way, SimpleX chat already supports post quantum.

>>106017829
Sure it will, that's billions of dollars tied to a known key, unlike the changing keys for everything else
They're not breaking it efficiently

Yeah... I'm going to wait until a more reputable website like mars.com comes out with the story.

what now, Xi?

>>106017698 (OP)
do you even know how to read? go kys

>>106017723
Please tell me how many more for loops it takes to factor a small 512bit RSA key vs a 22bit key.

>>106017698 (OP)
>22‑bit RSA integer
Oh no!

Anyone using 22bit RSA to encrypt their data deserves to get cracked.

That said, you are looking at progress. This could get to 50 bits within a few years, and before you know it 10 years has passed and 1024 bit keys are now factorable in less than a week.

That article is based on this article
https://www.csoonline.com/article/3562701/chinese-researchers-break-rsa-encryption-with-a-quantum-computer.html
From last year, which was based on this paper
http://cjc.ict.ac.cn/online/onlinepaper/wc-202458160402.pdf
that was release more than a year ago.

>>106018017
You're a genius. Why don't we just crack 1024bit RSA keys by cracking them one bit at a time in a for loop?

holy clickbait
this article is literally just about the speculation that quantum computers will massively improve in a short period of time. this isn't an impressive crack and not even close to the largest RSA crack that has been done before, the only reason the article was made was because it was done on a quantum computer
sure, cryptography guys should keep an eye on it, but RSA isn't any more dead than it was before

>>106018033
because (((they))) told you it's "impossible" to factor large primes

>>106018065
>the only reason the article was made was because it was done on a quantum computer
This is why it is impressive, dingus. Of course regular computers can crack 22 bit RSA keys faster. As this number grows though, you will start seeing keys broken faster on quantum processors. And then way faster. And then WAY faster.

>>106018081
they can crack 2^22 bits dingus... thats what a quantum computer is

>>106018105
You have succeeded in saying absolutely nothing of value

>22-bit
Most RSA keys are 2048-bit
And the recommended size is 4096-bit
Doesn't even matter because everyone who cares has moved on to better algorithms (see TLSv1.3 and how good websites only allow certain PKE algos for 1.2)

It's literally nothing.

elliptic curve was broken years ago by china

oh

>>106018066
i mean have you ever tried it? i for one didn't so who knows

>>106018017
this will skip the last 6 bits
