Google’s “Quantum Supremacy” To Render All Cryptocurrency & Military Secrets Breakable

Wow. What kind of guns or army does Google possess to protect it from the milatary?

[Nuc 1.1]

Goggle is a company manned by foreign nationals working on some of our nations most sensitive tech. They love the world’s dictators and aspire to become the greatest of them.

The 53-qubit quantum computer can break any 53-bit cryptography in seconds, meaning Bitcoin’s 256-bit encryption is vulnerable once Google scales its quantum computing to 256 qubits, something their own scientists say will be possible by 2022.

Thanks Enlightened1.

“Communism” has been re-branded to “Globalism”.

[Starcitizen]

Google will give the tech to India or Communist China, and forbid the US from using it.

#6 My password is Password1
I will change it to something else like Password2 to defeat this.

[TheNext]

Uh no.

A 53 Qubit computer is foiled by a single software delay statement requiring 53 million years to crack.

LMAO

[Enlightened1]

Agree 100%

[Enlightened1]

If true, then I agree 100%.

This is the pre “singularity”.

[Enlightened1]

Well said!

The current standard for PKI is 2048-4096 bits for TLS and PCI.

As I understand it only certain crypto algorithms are susceptible to quantum computing breaks.

256 bit AES with a 128 character key would currently take ~5.26 X 10¹⁹⁵ YEARS to try every possible key using the fastest supercomputer we currently have available to us today, . . Even if Google’s super Quantum computer were somehow 100 trillion times faster than that current super computer, it would then only take them ~5.26 X 10¹⁸¹ years to crack it. . . Thats quite a time savings that would still mean nothing to us since its been calculated that the Universe will devolve into a soup of quarks and other subatomic particles at a few fractions of a degree above absolute zero by ~4.2 X 10⁸⁰ Years from now . . .

This reporter has literally no grasp of the law of very large numbers. I wonder where they would store the results of all this quantum calculating they propose to do? The sheer number of possible keys could exceed the number of atoms in the Universe on which to put the quantum calculation results on. . . They also seem to think that in 2022 the US military and other people interested in keeping secrets would not have moved on to Quantum encryption. . .

As I said, the author of this article is woefully ignorant.

So, checking for success is not necessary and counting breakin attempts would not help. Just calculate the key and use it.

And what do you calculate the key from? That works fine if you have the lockbox and full access, but that doesn't help when you're submitting login attempts remotely. Likewise, if you're intercepting encrypted passwords and/or hashes, sure you can break those but there's probably several different results for any given hash (many of which make sense when a password can just be a string or random chars), so how do you know which one is correct?

I don't know if you truly understand the large numbers. A google, or even a googleplex, are tiny. Inconsequential.

From 1,000,000 to Graham’s Number - POWER TOWER TIME!

And what do you calculate the key from?

What I'm referring to here are Public (aka Asymmetric) Key systems. Keys are generated in pairs, a private key which is kept hidden and a public key which is distributed and generally known. Currently it is not computationally feasible to calculate the private key from the known public key. Quantum computing is supposed to make that possible.

If QC breaks the PK systems, then you won't be able to securely connect to your bank or other sensitive site as some other computer could authenticate itself as your bank's computer system, or could stand between you and your bank and you would not even notice.

All this is still quite a ways off. The secure web protocols will be updated before it becomes a problem.

Thanks for that link. Very cool!
