RSA Encryption Breached by Quantum Computing Advancement

A large proportion of the modern digital world involves everyday transactions taking place on the internet, from simple purchases to the exchange of highly sensitive corporate data that is highly confidential. In this era of rapid technological advancement, quantum computing is both perceived as a transformative opportunity and a potential security threat. 

Quantum computing has been generating considerable attention in recent years, but as far as the 2048-bit RSA standard is concerned, it defies any threat these advances pose to the existing encryption standards that have been in use for decades. Several cybersecurity experts have expressed concern about quantum technologies potentially compromising military-grade encryption because of the widespread rumours.

However, these developments have not yet threatened robust encryption protocols like AES and TLS, nor do they threaten high-security encryption protocols like SLA or PKI.

In addition to being a profound advancement over classical computing, quantum computing utilizes quantum mechanics principles to produce computations that are far superior to classical computation. 

Despite the inherent complexity of this technology, it has the potential to revolutionize fields such as pharmaceutical research, manufacturing, financial modelling, and cybersecurity by bringing enormous benefits.
