(July 2024) - Scott Best - Post-Quantum Cryptography
(16 APR 2024) -- Scott Best says the challenge is getting quantum-resistant encryption into the field
Fortunately for some, quantum computers aren’t yet powerful enough to wield Shor’s algorithm on demand. There is still time to introduce alternative security methods like lattice cryptography that are invulnerable to this kind of quantum cracking.
Commercially, it’s not essential right now. That is only because [smartphones and other cloud-touching consumer electronics] don’t have a terrifically long lifetime in the field. They have a lifetime around two to five years, and it’s not expected that any sort of cryptographically relevant quantum computer is going to be available until 2030 or 2033.
