A new era of inconceivably fast quantum machines is not far away, with computers almost ready to completely transform the way we solve problems, communicate, and compute. However, this transformation is not all positive, and the cybersecurity industry fears that functional quantum computers will be able to break even the strongest encryption we have today, rendering today’s security infrastructure obsolete. Looking back, most public-key algorithms rely on mathematical problems that are easy to solve in one direction but extremely hard to solve in the other. Think of it like mixing two paint…
