The National Security Agency (NSA) has expressed concerns over the potential of a quantum computing breakthrough by adversaries, highlighting the vulnerability of asymmetric cryptography and the risk it poses to the security of the global economy and top-secret communications systems. With the rapid pace of innovation in quantum computing, as evidenced by the upcoming IFT4 and steady advances in quantum computer performance, there is a growing fear that current encryption processes could eventually be compromised. The NSA has stated, 'If this black swan event happens, then we're really screwed,' underscoring the urgency for post-quantum cryptography solutions to safeguard against the threat of quantum computing capabilities falling into the hands of America's foes.
Through steady advances in the development of quantum computers and their ever-improving performance, it will be possible in the future to crack our current encryption processes. https://t.co/yEdsnyYSHy Image/video credits: @TU_Muenchen #satellites #communications #tech https://t.co/fOe28BLRBV
