In a move that’s turning heads in security circles, Google isn’t releasing the algorithmic improvements that make this achievement possible. Instead, the researchers released a zero-knowledge proof that mathematically proves the existence of the algorithmic
enhancement without disclosing it.
“The escalating risk that detailed cryptanalytic blueprints could be weaponized by adversarial actors necessitates a shift in disclosure practices,” the authors explained. “Accordingly, we believe it is now a matter of public responsibility to share refined resource estimates while withholding the precise mechanics of the underlying attacks.” The researchers, who said they consulted with the US government in forging the new policy, went on to say that “progress in quantum computing has reached the stage where it is prudent to stop publishing details of improved quantum cryptanalysis to avoid misuse.”
