Quantum Computing and the end of the Internet as we know it
Quantum computing poses a significant threat to current internet security, but it will not cause the end of the internet. While sufficiently powerful quantum computers could break the public-key cryptography (such as RSA and ECC) that secures most online communications, this outcome is preventable through the adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The primary risk is the “Q-Day” scenario, where …
