Quantum leap: Computing technology advancements to challenge cyber security

摘要

The coming rise of quantum computing could be a game changer for military cyber security, escalating attackers' capacity to hack conventional encryption. Industry is therefore looking at ways to defend against this threat. Experts believe that quantum computing will perform a range of tasks at far greater speeds than even the most advanced classical processers and could be capable of accomplishing feats beyond the reach of standard computers. According to Raytheon Intelligence and Space, this is due to the way such technologies process information.
