Imminent Arrival of Quantum Computers Spells Danger for Private Data
In a previous blog post, we reported that quantum computers might be available in the next ten to fifteen years. However, with companies including Google and IBM significantly ramping up their efforts to make quantum computing a reality, it is likely that commercial availability of quantum computers will arrive ahead of schedule. A recent article…

The security of the digital world we live in—our banking systems, online communications, national defense infrastructure, and even everyday internet traffic—relies on cryptographic systems grounded in mathematical problems considered infeasible for classical computers to solve. Chief among these are integer factorization (used in RSA) and the discrete logarithm problem (used in Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve…
