[dba-Tech] Encryption

[Jim Lawrence]

The question has been posed that when Quantum Computers finally become operation encryption and privacy as we know will be over.

Fortunately, this is not the case. There have been some huge strides in encryption technology and when quantum computing becomes common the world will still have security. What is Quantum computing and how will it impact us:

Will quantum computing break all encryption?:

Resistance is not futile:

A few of the many projects making better encryption:

In summary; by the time quantum computing is being used by governments and other criminals, to freely monitor all, there will be another impregnable wall of Post-Quantum-Cryptography.
