The Quantum Threat: How Quantum Computing Could Break Today’s Encryption

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, a formidable challenge is looming over our digital security: the advent of quantum computing. Governments and individual actors are currently engaged in a race to intercept and store encrypted data, despite being unable to decrypt it right now. This practice, referred to as Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL), hinges on the belief that within the next decade or two, advances in quantum computing will enable them to break encryption algorithms that secure our most sensitive data, such as passwords, bank details, and social security numbers.
