Quantum computers are inevitable, and they’re going to change our world in so many different ways. Granted, the term ‘change’ is subjective, and it could mean changes both positive and negative. But when it
We live in a world of secure messaging. But if the history of cryptography tells us anything, unbreakable codes never last. Today, the greatest threat is the advent of the quantum computer. As long as there’s been war — or proxy wars like politics and finance — there’s been cryptogra...
You’ve probably been hearing a lot lately about the quantum-computing threat to cryptography. If so, you probably also have a lot of questions about what this “quantum threat” is and how it will impact your cryptographic solutions. Let’s take a look at some of the most common questions...

In addition to responding to the threat of quantum computing with better classical algorithms, there is quantum cryptography – an example of which is quantum key distribution (QKD). This secure communication method is being researched as an alternative to RSA and makes it possible to transmit a ...
Quantum computing is a new approach to calculation that uses principles of fundamental physics to solve extremely complex problems very quickly.
To understand the full threat of quantum computing, it’s essential to highlight the security processes at risk, specifically those needed forpublic-key cryptography(PKC). PKC is the most widely used security protocol for online browsing, data storage, and server connection. It requires a key an...
Quantum computing as a threat to cryptography Theoretical results, such as Shor’s algorithm19, and state-of-the-art quantum computing technology in conjunction with expected near-to-mid future scalability and robust developments, have attracted the attention of international standards agencies in cyber...
Quantum computing is a new paradigm of computing that uses quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data.
If there is a field of research considered to have revolutionary potential among scientists in the fields of computing and technology today, then quantum computing is at the top of the list worldwide – as one of the emerging key technologies of the 21st century. But how exactly is the opera...
