Far more powerful and capable of a great deal more than ‘traditional’ computers, quantum computers may be the natural next step in technological development. However, they also pose a considerable risk to existing #cybersecurity measures.Here, we take a look at whether developments in quantum computing and quantum cryptography will result in the creation of appropriate security technology, or whether they will put individuals, businesses and governments in unprecedented danger.The RisksModern cybersecurity is largely based on the practice of cryptography. Simply put, this is the use of large numbers and complex calculations to create complex keys that cannot be cracked easily. However, quantum computers’ ability to perform certain calculations at a much faster rate may render such (...)
