Part 2/12:
One of the most pressing concerns regarding quantum computing is its ability to render current encryption methods obsolete. Financial technologies, such as online banking, rely heavily on sophisticated encryption to secure transactions and safeguard sensitive data. Traditional encryption can withstand attacks from classical computers, but quantum computers are poised to break through these defenses with unparalleled speed.
As quantum technology becomes more accessible, the digital locks that protect our personal information may become vulnerable, exposing individuals and organizations to significant security breaches. The financial technology sector faces a daunting challenge in developing quantum-resistant encryption methods, with research and solutions still ongoing.
