The Quantum Threat Is Becoming Clearer Quantum computing poses a serious threat to today’s asymmetric cryptography and is expected to render widely used algorithms such as RSA and ECC obsolete. By contrast, symmetric cryptography (such as AES) and hash functions, maintaining an equivalent level of security…

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has fueled debates for years, but since the European Commission’s June 2025 communication on the PQC transition roadmap, the acceleration is undeniable. It is no longer a question of “if” but rather “when”, quantum computing will disrupt our cryptographic foundations. As the Wavestone RiskInsight article « Quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography: what strategy should companies adopt to deal with these issues? » reminds us, this subject shifts…
