Strengthening Cybersecurity With “Toy Algorithms”: Helping Benchmark Quantum Algorithm Speedups, Brute Force Attacks for the Better
Researchers at Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in the United Arab Emirates have demonstrated a new approach to simulate cryptographic hacking algorithms on a quantum simulator that runs on classical computers. One of the key discoveries was a way to model the complexity of such computations that could be scaled to a full-sized quantum computer. The research enabled them to create more secure cryptographic designs.
