Introduction to QSI’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Series
Governments around the world are beginning to prepare themselves for the quantum threat. Even though quantum computers may not be prevalent in any commercial sense in years, national security requires for sensitive data and documents to be quantum proof well in advance. No one wants their opponents to get access to five-year-old, or even ten-year-old, sensitive material.
But how, exactly, are nations approaching post-quantum cryptography (PQC)?
In answering that question, QSI has released its second quantum cybersecurity report, titled How Asian Countries are Addressing Post-Quantum Cryptography: Part Two in QSI’s Series of Global Cryptography Reports.
