The directorate has been at the forefront of quantum computing research since 1995, immediately following the advent ofShor’s algorithm, which showed how quantum computers can factor numbers exponentially faster than normal computers—exactly the kind of work needed to break encryption. ...
Jack’s going to take his message and he’s going to use an algorithm or cipher – the encryption key – to scramble the message into ciphertext. Now he’ll pass it along to Diane, along with the key, which can be used to decrypt the message so that it’s readable again. As long...
