The Looming Quantum Threat: NCSC Urges Encryption Upgrades

The following concept provides an approach for closed networks that integrates both current encryption technologies and post-quantity cryptographic procedures against the threat posed by quantum computers. The present model is based on the idea of structuring a communication system in such a way that it can already be protected against the threats posed by quantum computers with the currently available algorithms, i.e. RSA and ECC, and that thes…

loading="lazy" width="400px">Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is used to securely distribute encryption keys between two parties. Shaiith – shutterstock.com The so-called Q-Day, the day when quantum computers are powerful enough to crack current standard encryption methods, is approaching. One of the solutions developed to protect against this quantum threat is Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). The potential of QKD is immense, but its current applic…

The Looming Quantum Threat: NCSC Urges Encryption Upgrades

The danger to cryptography posed by next-generation large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers is widely understood. Although current encryption methods, which are used to secure everything from banking to communications, are based on mathematical algorithms that the everyday PC is unable to crack, a new era of incredibly fast quantum computers is just a few years away, [...]
