Breaking News on Quantum-Safe Cryptography#quantum#cryptography

The growing significance of quantum cryptography and the pressing need for digital security to adapt as quantum technology advances. With the rapid progress in quantum computing, traditional encryption methods could become vulnerable to quantum-powered attacks, where encrypted data might be stolen now and decrypted later once quantum computers evolve. This concern has prompted the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop quantum-safe cryptographic standards, set to be finalized soon.

Quantum-safe cryptography is especially critical for long-term data security, such as in industries like finance and defense. India is seen as having a significant opportunity to lead in quantum security, akin to its role during the Y2K crisis. Businesses should prepare now for the arrival of quantum technology by adopting quantum-safe protocols to protect sensitive information from future threats
