The paradox of post-quantum crypto preparedness

Preparing for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a paradox: on the one hand, we don’t know for sure when, or perhaps even if, a large quantum computer will become available that can break all current public-key cryptography. On the other hand, the cons… Continue reading The paradox of post-quantum crypto preparedness
