A quantum computer algorithm that is used to find the prime factors in an encryption key. Created by applied mathematician Peter Shor in the mid-1990s, Shor's algorithm may be used to break the ...

IBS Software’s Alex Haynes says there is still a long way to go before quantum computers are able to break modern ...

Recent developments in quantum computing have raised the stakes for developing quantum-resistant crypto tokens.

While quantum computing poses a credible threat to the security of the blockchain, all hope is not immediately lost.

However, Peter Shor’s polynomial-time quantum algorithm run on a sufficiently-advanced quantum computer could perform such derivations and thus falsify digital signatures. For a better understanding ...

Developed in 1994 by US mathematician Peter Shor, Shor’s algorithm is a quantum computer algorithm for calculating the prime factors of a number. While it may be easy to discern the prime ...
