Episode 3: The Quantum Computer Is Coming: Why Today's Encryption Could Soon Be Useless
What happens when the computers of tomorrow can break the encryption protecting the internet today?
In this episode of the Silicon to Software Podcast, we explore one of the biggest technology shifts of the next decade: quantum computing and its impact on cybersecurity.
You'll learn:
• Why RSA and elliptic curve cryptography are vulnerable to quantum attacks • How Shor's Algorithm could change internet security forever • What "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" means for governments and businesses • Why Bitcoin and cryptocurrency wallets face unique quantum risks • IBM's progress in quantum hardware and why logical qubits matter • NIST's new post-quantum cryptography standards (ML-KEM & ML-DSA) • Practical steps organizations should take today to prepare for a post-quantum world
Whether you're an engineer, cybersecurity professional, PCB designer, AI enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of technology, this episode explains quantum computing without the hype and focuses on what actually matters.
