I Saw a Paper That Claims It Breaks RSA With a Quantum Computer
A group of Chinese researchers have just published a paper claiming that they can, although they have not yet done so, break 2048 bit RSA. The lead is a quote from the reason everyone's talking about this, right, which is Schnorr's block cipher cryptography. Would anyone like to guess the source? Well, I already know. Roger Grands. But that's a quote from Brush Nair, the cryptographer from the deep. Who is Brush Nair? Brush Nair is somebody who has forgotten more about block cipher cryptography than I will ever bother to learn. It's interesting because when I've started getting into cryptography, which was post snowed in, I never found his
