Post-Quantum Cryptography - Knowing the Unknown Cyber World
Quantum computers will eventually become powerful enough to break public key-based cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Public key-based cryptography is used to protect everything from your online communications to your financial transactions. Quantum computing represents a major security threat and action is needed now to secure applications and infrastructure using Post-Quantum/Quantum Safe Cryptography.
Leveraging Shor’s algorithm, quantum computers will be capable of reducing the security of discrete logarithm-based schemes like Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and factorization-based schemes like RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) so much that no reasonable key size would suffice to keep data secure. ECC and RSA are the algorithms used to protect everything from our bank accounts to our medical records. Governments, researchers, and tech leaders the world over have recognized this quantum threat and the difficulty in securing critical infrastructure against attacks from quantum computers.
Making it an essential norm to unfold critical cybersecurity trends as a seasoned cybersecurity specialist. You can make a difference with the right number of skills and quantum encryption technologies being earned via top cybersecurity certification programs. Make an informed move today!
