First Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards to Guard Against Future Quantum Attacks

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor’s algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers--a seemingly innocuous superpower. But because the security of digital information relies on such math, the implications of Shor’s algorithm were ground-shaking. It’s long been prophesied that modern cryptography, […]
