Quantum Threat to Cryptography


Listen Later

This podcast collectively explore the profound impact of quantum computing on information security, examining both threats and solutions. They consistently highlight Shor's and Grover's algorithms as significant dangers to current public-key and symmetric cryptography, respectively. We also universally present Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) as crucial countermeasures, with a particular focus on NIST's PQC standardisation efforts. Across the summaries, there is a strong emphasis on the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat and the urgent need for organisations to adopt crypto-agile strategies and hybrid security models to prepare for a quantum-resilient future. They discuss the practical applications and implementation challenges of these quantum-safe technologies, stressing the importance of global collaboration and standardisation.
