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.

Episode 2 | Silicon to Software Podcast

What if the biggest cybersecurity risk in self-driving cars isn't the software—but the hardware?

In this episode, we explore the hidden security challenges inside autonomous vehicles, including Electronic Control Units (ECUs), CAN bus networks, LiDAR sensors, AI accelerator chips, automotive Ethernet, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Secure Boot, and the global electronics supply chain.

You'll discover why many legacy vehicle architectures were designed before cybersecurity became a core engineering requirement, how modern standards like ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, and AUTOSAR SecOC are improving vehicle security, and why hardware security is becoming just as important as AI software.

If you're interested in autonomous vehicles, AI hardware, embedded systems, cybersecurity, PCB manufacturing, semiconductors, or automotive engineering, this episode is for you.
