SHARED INTEL: What can be done — today — to keep quantum computing from killing encryption

The Last Watchdog

Their trepidation is focused on the potential undermining of a core security component of classical computing systems: encryption. Their median prediction for when PQC will become a necessity was 2022, just three years from now. To its credit, the global cybersecurity community is not asleep on this. But that’s not the crucial issue.
