AI- POWERED CYBERSECURITY
|
The chilling growth of Artificial Intelligence does not stop at autonomous cars, natural language processing, and AI-driven algorithms. In fact, the potential of Artificial Intelligence is theoretically endless. Due to that boundless capacity, it’s not peculiar to see AI crossing the boundaries of its field over to other subsets of computer science, such as cybersecurity.

SHOR'S QUANTUM ALGORITHMS AGAINST RSA
|
This study explores the possibility of breaking RSA which is widely used in banking and digital signature using Shor's algorithm implemented upon quantum computers. Considering that RSA is one of the most commonly used encryption algorithms in traditional systems. But, due to continuous quantum computing improvements, the current security system may be threatening.
