The JVG algorithm factors RSA and ECC keys using fewer quantum resources than Shor’s algorithm, accelerating the time needed to break today’s public-key cryptography.

Google on Friday unveiled its plan for its Chrome browser to secure HTTPS certificates against quantum computer attacks without breaking the Internet.

Shor's algorithm running on a large quantum computer can solve those underlying math problems in polynomial time, essentially breaking the trapdoor. That means a quantum computer could derive an RSA ...
