Description
Your organisation's digital security will be severely compromised if you don't prepare for the advent of quantum computing. Traditional computer encryption methods are no match for the powerful computers that will soon be able to break even common desktop encryption in decades, and government-grade encryption in billions of times. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has predicted that quantum computers will soon render many current cryptographic methods obsolete. HTTPS, TLS, WiFi protection, VPNs, cryptocurrencies, PKI, digital certificates, smartcards, and two-factor authentication will all be virtually useless unless you take action. Cryptography Apocalypse is a crucial resource for IT and InfoSec professionals to help them make informed decisions about implementing post-quantum crypto algorithms. This practical guide provides the knowledge and tools needed to prepare for the coming quantum-computing revolution and ensure your organisation's digital security remains intact.
