The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) successfully tested secure communication flows in a post-quantum environment

For many in this community, a functioning quantum computer will probably still feel quite fictional — an innovation that’s still light-years away.

A new set of algorithms chosen by the US government will allow organizations to start the long process of preparing for quantum attacks.

Investment and new milestones in quantum computing are bringing the prospect of an ultra-powerful computer that can crack any code closer to reality.

Quantum computers are the future, but they’re also potentially dangerous – Post-Quantum was set up to find a way to ‘build a cage’ and stop it running wild, writes Andy Martin
