Current encryption technology will be obsolete in the next 5 years

Experts have found a way to disable RSA 1024 security technology, which is being used in banking and e-commerce transactions on many websites today.

Experts have found a way to disable RSA 1024 security technology, which is being used in banking and e-commerce transactions on many websites today.

After 11 months, with computers using special algorithms, the Swiss EPFL organization (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) was able to read the page encoded message generated from a number of 307 digits.

Their next goal is to analyze the coefficient and unlock RSA 768 bit technology, then RSA 1024 bit. "The ability to crack 1024 will only be achieved in the next 5-10 years, but it's time for websites to look for stronger security solutions," said EPFL expert Arjen Lenstra.

One of the new solutions has been introduced by Laszlo Kish of Texas A&M University (USA) to use noise generated from the natural movement of electrons to safely transmit data over telephone lines. or network cable.

According to Kish, exploiting the thermal properties of conductors will create a secure information channel rather than a quantum code key.

Kish's idea was made using two high-voltage and low-voltage resistors. In about half of the time, they will produce a lot of noise and ignore all communication. The remaining time, they only cause a bit of noise and real data transmission. A highly skilled eavesdropping specialist must be able to identify the information being sent by only a small noise in the transmission line.

Even if hackers detect a message, it is difficult to accurately determine the content because it is unknown whether the active resistor is so high or low.
