Cryptography and quantum computing
Cryptography has long been one of the best ways to protect digital information from unauthorized access - for example, to comply with legal regulations such as the GDPR or industry-related rules. But it is also about protecting confidential data from theft by cybercriminals. However, a comparatively new discussion raises questions regarding the reliability of cryptographic security: Are cryptographic methods, such as the RSA cryptosystem, still secure even with the availability of extremely powerful quantum computers? To ensure the security of encrypted data, it is important to now...
