Post-quantum cryptography

An illustrated guide

Explore how the world will tackle the security challenges of a post-quantum world

Quantum computing promises to radically transform not only how we think about computation but also what's actually possible with it. While there may be many benefits, there is also significant anxiety about what it might mean for cryptography and, by extension, security and privacy. 

 

To get ahead of the risks, experts are attempting to develop algorithms that quantum machines cannot decrypt.
