The Quantum Threat to Current Encryption Standards (The 2028 Deadline)

The Quantum Threat to Current Encryption Standards (The 2028 Deadline)

The Quantum Threat to Current Encryption Standards (The 2028 Deadline) The relentless march of technological progress brings with it not only innovation but also potential disruption. One such disruption looms on the horizon: the threat that quantum computing poses to our current encryption standards. While quantum computers are still in their nascent stages, their theoretical capabilities threaten to render many of the cryptographic algorithms we rely on today obsolete. The Problem: Shor’s Algorithm The vulnerability stems from a quantum algorithm known as Shor’s algorithm. Developed by mathematician Peter Shor in 1994, this algorithm demonstrates the potential for a quantum computer
