How we are preparing for the future of cryptography
Cryptography is the science of securing information from unauthorized access or modification. It is essential for protecting the privacy and integrity of data in the digital world. However, cryptography is not static. It evolves with advances in mathematics, computer science, and technology. One of the biggest challenges that cryptography faces today is the future threat from substantially more powerful quantum computers
Quantum computing leverages the properties of quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement, operations that are impossible or impractical for classical computers. While quantum computers have the potential to help us solve some of the most complex problems in science, engineering, and medicine, they also have the potential to upend public-key algorithms, which form the foundation of today’s encryption and security for most existing information and communication technology products.
