Broader Implications for Cybersecurity

The potential advent of powerful quantum computers has implications far beyond cryptocurrencies:

Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Encryption

• Symmetric ciphers like AES-128, used for data encryption, are generally considered less vulnerable to quantum attacks.
• Asymmetric encryption methods, including RSA and ECC, are more at risk and form the basis of many current secure communication protocols.
