China's 3D NAND leader YMTC gradually switching to homegrown chipmaking tools

When the U.S. banned the sale of advanced chipmaking tools to Chinese entities in October 2022, China’s 3D NAND champ YMTC suffered significantly as it could not get tools it had already paid for. But almost two years later, YMTC is making steady progress in replacing foreign chipmaking tools with domestically developed alternatives, according toBloombergwhich citesTechInsights. YMTC has turned to domestic suppliers like Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment (AMEC), which specializes in etching equipment; Naura Technology, which focuses on deposition and etching tools; and Piotech, another deposition specialist, for chipmaking equipment....

Chinese scientists use quantum computers to crack military-grade encryption — quantum attack poses a "real and substantial threat" to RSA and AES

Chinese researchers claim to have uncovered a “real and substantial threat” to the classical cryptography widely used in banking and the military sectors. According to a report published by theSCMP, the researchers utilized aD-Wave quantum computerto mount the first successful quantum attack on widely used cryptographic algorithms. These algorithms, classed as substitution–permutation network (SPN) cryptographic algorithms, are at the heart of widely used standards like the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)....
