Invest in post-quantum cryptography
Google is already using a quantum-safe encryption process (post-quantum cryptography) in its latest version of the Chrome browser. Companies should do the same. The quantum-safe key encapsulation process in the Chrome browser protects the exchange of symmetric keys when establishing secure TLS connections. Is this step necessary even though practical use of quantum computers is not yet foreseeable in the near future? Yes, says Nils Gerhardt, CTO at Utimaco. Preparing for the future “In fact, we cannot yet say when practical use of quantum computers can be expected or when criminals will have access to them. But…
