Καινοτομία

When quantum computers become available, an existing algorithm will challenge current encryption techniques now considered secure. Work being done by an EU-funded project is laying the grounds for a solution.

In a paper recently published in the journal ‘Nature’, researchers outline several approaches to developing new, quantum-attack resistant encryption techniques. One obvious approach is the development of new encryption techniques that avoid the use of current techniques as these could be undermined in the future.

The problem facing current encryption
