Summary:
MemComputing, a San Diego-based company, is researching the use of in-memory processing ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) to potentially crack 2048-bit RSA encryption in real time. The company believes that by combining processing and data in memory, they can break the latency introduced by the von Neumann bottleneck and solve complex mathematical problems that are currently intractable for classical computers. They have conducted software emulation tests and believe that their ASICs could solve a 2048-bit factorization problem in a matter of minutes. This development has implications for the future of encryption, potentially rendering current encryption methods obsolete.
