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…
Quantum computing threatens today’s asymmetric cryptography and would render current algorithms obsolete, both RSA and ECC. As for symmetric cryptography, (AES, hash functions) doubling the key size ensures maintained security guarantees. To address the threat, the NIST has standardized three…
