How will quantum computing impact security processes?

Quantum computers have the potential to perform calculations faster than ever possible before, inviting a significant rethink in how we approach cyber security. Given the amount of research being ploughed into this area, we are likely to see a commercially viable machine in the near future, so cryptographers and the cyber security industry in general should work to have a clear view on the implications way ahead of that achievement. Sure, But What Is Quantum Computing? Every current computer -- smartphones, laptops, smart TVs -- manipulates binary digits (bits), and these bits can only have two values: "0" or "1". (Note: bits… [Continue Reading]
