Countries worldwide are racing to create the first “truly” quantum computer. While this computer will offer significant benefits, there is also one tremendous drawback—the increased cyberthreat they will present. If a quantum computer falls into the wrong hands, current cybersecurity defenses will be powerless against it.
This whitepaper provides an introduction to the capabilities, threats, and opportunities inherent in quantum-safe technologies. Topics we explore include:
- Post-quantum cryptography algorithm standardization
- Governments preparing for a quantum-safe world
- A breakdown of quantum-safe offerings
- Ensuring quantum resistance for hardware security modules
- Satellite-based quantum key distribution capabilities
