Cryptography’s Future Will Be Quantum-Safe. Here’s How It Will Work.
Lattice cryptography promises to protect secrets from the attacks of far-future quantum computers. The post Cryptography’s Future Will Be Quantum-Safe. Here’s How It Will Work. first appeared on Quanta Magazine
In 1994, the computer scientist Peter Shor discovered that if quantum computers were ever invented, they would decimate much of the infrastructure used to protect information shared online. That frightening possibility has had researchers scrambling to produce new, “post-quantum” encryption schemes, to save as much information as they could from falling into the hands of quantum hackers.
