Quantum computers are capable of breaking standard encryption methods once they achieve one million qubits or more. Although this level is still far beyond what current quantum technology can offer, this revised estimate is 20 times lower than earlier predictions.
The widely utilized RSA algorithm is built on the principle that multiplying two prime numbers is an easy task; however, determining those prime numbers based solely on the resulting encryption key is…
