EasyChair Preprint 5818

Abstract

‘Quantum Computing will end encryption as we know it’ is a very grabbing statement but is not the exact truth. This paper will research how quantum computing can be used to break traditional public key encryption and hence the future risks and social implications involved with the further evolution of this new generation of compute technology.

Keyphrases: Encryption Breaking, Encryption method, Prime number, RSA Encryption, online security, password cracking, quantum computer, quantum computing
