There was a lot of buzz around quantum computing at this year’s RSA Conference. The conference is named after RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman) encryption, which has remained an exceptionally strong, proven system since its introduction in the 1970’s. Enter the quantum threat. Quantum computers have the potential to perform calculations—including solving the math at the core of the cryptographic protocols that currently secure literally everything on the internet—exponentially faster than classical computers. How much faster? Experts estimate it would take billions or even trillions of years to crack RSA with current technology. After Q-Day, afault-tolerant quantum machine with 10,000 cubits could accomplish the task by Q2. And that inevitability is closer than many might realize. Which is why we can’t help but wonder if one of the world’s largest IT security conferences should also prepare to reflect the quantum era.
