According to Professor Gilles Brassard, an expert in quantum computing: "The time needed to factor an RSA integer is the same order as the time needed to use that same integer as modulus for a single RSA encryption. Source: Internet

A CHK is a SHA-256 hash of a document (after encryption, which itself depends on the hash of the plaintext) and thus a node can check that the document returned is correct by hashing it and checking the digest against the key. Source: Internet

A common misconception is to use inverse order of encryption as decryption algorithm (i.e. first XORing P17 and P18 to the ciphertext block, then using the P-entries in reverse order). Source: Internet

According to a NIST retrospective about DES, :The DES can be said to have "jump started" the nonmilitary study and development of encryption algorithms. Source: Internet

A Dutch masters student has found vulnerabilities in the Thunderbolt input/output port hardware design that lets attackers fully bypass computer access security measures such as Secure Boot, login passwords and full-disk encryption. Source: Internet

And that’s a problem, as quantum computers may be able to techniques such as RSA encryption much faster than traditional computers can. Source: Internet
