Quantum Computing: A Cryptographic Revolution with Opportunities and Threats
2025-07-14
The rapid advancement of quantum computing brings immense computational power, but it also threatens existing encryption systems. Within the next 7-10 years, quantum computers will be able to break current cryptographic standards, posing a serious threat to individual privacy and national security. NIST has already established post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards, but integrating these algorithms into existing systems requires significant engineering effort. Companies need to act now, conduct system inventories, upgrade encryption algorithms, and collaborate with suppliers to ensure quantum security in the supply chain, avoiding the future risk of "capture now, exploit later".
