The digital world is on the cusp of a major transformation with the rapid advancement of quantum computing.
While this breakthrough technology promises unprecedented computational power, it also poses a significant threat to current encryption systems.
Cryptographic methods that secure our financial transactions, communications and sensitive data may become obsolete.
This has led to the emergence of quantum-resistant cryptography, a crucial field focused on safeguarding digital assets against quantum-based attacks.
Understanding the quantum threat
Classical encryption methods, such as RSA and ECC (elliptic curve cryptography), rely on complex mathematical problems that would take traditional computers thousands of years to solve.
However, quantum computers leverage Shor’s algorithm, which can break these encryptions within hours or even minutes.
This means that
