Quantum resistant Cryptography (Entrust Guide)
A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO QUANTUM-RESISTANT CRYPTOGRAPHY AND ENCRYPTION While still in their early stages of development, quantum computers are set to change the world — and that includes the ability to break the cryptography and encryption we use today. Quantum computers are approaching the computing power and stability needed to break public-key encryption protocols . The time to migrate to post-quantum cryptography is now. What is a Quantum Computer? Quantum computers apply the properties of quantum mechanics to processing power. This allows them to perform highly complex computations significantly faster than classical computers. Before you can understand quantum computing, you must first wrap your mind around the “qubit.” In traditional computing, the basic unit of memory is a “bit,” which represents either a one or zero. On the other hand, a qubit can represent one, zero, or even a combination of them both at the same time — a phenomenon referred to as “superposi...
