IBM's System Q quantum computer. As machines like this get more and more powerful, today's encryption methods will go out the window. That's a problem. Stephen Shankland/CNET Quantum computingcan be baffling, bu
Using traditional computing, even common desktop encryption could take decades for specialized 'crackers' to break and government and infrastructure-grade encryption would take billions of times longer. In light of these facts, it may seem that today's computer cryptography is a rock-solid way to ...
We note that even against the power of a quantum computer, symmetric-key algorithms remain safe. It’s estimated that the quantum computing may halve the effective length of symmetric keys, which means that algorithms like AES-256 will remain secure, without need for replacement. Introducing quant...
Quantum computing’s transformative potential brings with it risks that could affect security, equity, and job markets worldwide. Data Privacy and Security Risks: Quantum computers can break current encryption standards, potentially compromising global data security. Banks, government agencies, and e...

According to McKinsey’s analysis, quantum computing is still years away from widespread commercial application. Butother quantum technologiessuch asquantum communication(QComm) and quantum sensing (QS) could become available much earlier. Quantum communication will help enable strong encryption protocols, ...
Here are some points to consider regarding why quantum computing is even more dangerous than artificial intelligence: 1.Breaking encryption Quantum computing has the potential to break current encryption methods, which could allow malicious actors to access sensitive information. ...
No advancements in computing power or crypto-analysis will be able to break the CV-QKD protocol, including quantum computers. UNBREAKABLE CV-QKD WITH QUINTESSENCELABS Start Your Quantum-Resilient Cybersecurity Journey Today. Schedule Your Quantum 1:1 ...
Numerous experts and organizations have already given estimates — some conservative and others for the next five to ten years — for the day quantum computing will reach performance levels that allow it to break theencryption algorithmsused in our digital world. ...
Quantum computing represents a new type of computing environment where many amazing things will be possible. But when it comes to encryption, nothing much will change. Developing new encryption techniques won't require any special quantum trickery, just an awareness of what a quantum computer can ...
