Demystifying cryptography: PQC, QKD and quantum threats | SandboxAQ

How does cryptography work and why do quantum computers pose a threat to our secure communications? In this video, SandboxAQ breaks down how current cryptographic standards like RSA and ECC protect everything we do in today’s connected world — and why those standards will become vulnerable in the future.

Fortunately, a years-long global effort has resulted in a new group of cryptographic algorithms called Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Find out how these new standards are designed to resist quantum cyberthreats. You'll also discover a second approach to secure communications: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). This fascinating approach uses the laws of physics to ensure that transmissions are not intercepted.

The world’s organizations are currently undergoing a massive transition to these new quantum-resistant protocols to protect sensitive data, financial transactions, communications, and more. Dive into this video for a concise explanation of how the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity protects our digital communications in the quantum era.
