China Has Not Broken Your Encryption (Yet)

In this video I discuss the claim that Chinese Scientest have broken RSA with quantum computers, and the actual state of asymmetric encryption security against classical and current generation quantum computers.

Cutting edge technology is not made public. We'll be the last to know when they can break RSA keys or produce hash collisions on demand.

2:33: "you can't just throw a swarm of cheap quantum computers at this problem", is something I never thought I'd hear someone say.

[QwertyAD]

So it's just a clickbait article?

[jasontang]

To put this into perspective, the phone in your pocket can factor a 22-bit number in under 1ms just through brute-force (trying every possible combination).

I hath no clue what Mental Outlaw doth speak, but I find ever pleasing his voice to listen upon that it matters not.

[IsaacFoster..]

If they manage to crack AES256, I'd have to re-encrypt my homework

[flinxsl]

Maybe I'm getting old but I don't buy as much into the "some genius will arise to solve our problems" argument as much anymore. I've been working in the cutting edge IC industry for over 10 years now and it seems like we've been turning the same crank of breaking tough problems into manageable chunks over and over. Theoretical physics is almost out of gas as far as making testable predictions, and there are so many layers of abstraction in science and engineering that the people doing it don't understand at the fundamental level what we are doing anymore.

[FunkyJeff]

There was a debate about wether QCs would be infeasible because of how much error correction you need for larger and larger systems. But increasingly it's looking like that won't be an issue. We're making larger systems with much higher accuracy (current systems are 99.9% accurate, compared to 50% a few decades ago), and error correction isn't compounding.

[dkx]

6:30 google apparently did just that. They used more cubits to achieve better error correction

[BingeHD]

If I didn't start studying for Security+ 2 weeks ago, I wouldn't be able to understand anything you were saying about encryption standards in this video. :)

[alihasanabdullah]

Thinking we have 'many decades' left till RSA is broken is bordering on hubris. If Quantum computing advances at the speed of Moore's law, it'll take about 14 years or so to crack RSA-2048, and 16 years to break RSA-4096. Exponential progress is quite hard to wrap your head around.

I know it's unlikely for QC to advance at the speed of standard computing, but it's safer to think we don't have 'many decades' and work on hardening our encryption.

[nepnep]

It's worth noting that there is evidence of the selection process for Kyber in NIST's PQC program being heavily rigged to inflate its ostensible security level, which really shouldn't be surprising considering NIST is known to be collaborating with the NSA, I recommend reading Daniel Bernstein's post about the subject from last year.

[mapu]

Actually you have to be worried, cause if someone stole your encrypted data back in 2013 or whenever old standards were used, they now have it unencrypted. Sure it might be outdated, but say its the "forgot your password" question answers or whatever. It's still information you don't want out there.

[pajeetsingh]

People really can't know about current state of technology, especially today.

[potatocrispychip]

They still use DPI that requires an OBFS4 proxy to circunvent TLS certificate detection

[UltraAlex]

Remember when it was "impossible" for a computer to fit in a household? Or on a desk? Or inside a briefcase? Or inside of a pocket? Now we have pregnancy tests that can run Doom. Never say never when it comes to computers.

[HikaruAkitsuki]

Even 256 bit is already impossible enough to decrypt as explained by 3Blue1Brown long time ago.
