Quantum Researchers Say Breaking Elliptic Curve Encryption May Require Far Fewer Resources Than Expected
Key Takeaways
- Two whitepapers suggest breaking ECC with quantum computers may require far fewer resources than earlier estimates.
- One paper cites a 100-fold overhead reduction for a neutral-atom approach; another cites a 20-fold reduction for blockchain-related attacks.
- The findings increase pressure to migrate toward post-quantum cryptography even though practical CRQC has not yet arrived.
