: Based on the Observer Effect , any attempt to eavesdrop on a quantum signal changes its state, immediately alerting the senders.
The current security infrastructure relies on mathematical problems (like RSA and ECC) that are easy for classical computers to solve but would be trivial for a sufficiently powerful quantum computer using . This creates a "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat, where adversaries steal encrypted data today to unlock it once quantum technology matures. 1. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Do We Need Quantum Leaps in Security?
The most immediate "leap" is shifting to software-based algorithms that even quantum computers cannot solve. : Based on the Observer Effect , any
: This is a "leap" in agility; organizations must move toward crypto-agility , allowing them to swap out compromised algorithms without rebuilding entire systems. 2. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) 2. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
