Crypto-Procrastination: Preparing for a Quantum Secure Economy, Today
As the era of quantum computing approaches, the foundations of digital security are under threat. Modern cryptographic systems that maintain the confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of data and digital signatures will no longer be secure once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists.
For sectors like finance and banking, where the security of records underpins global trust and stability, this presents a critical challenge. Quantum-enabled attackers could decrypt sensitive communications, forge digital signatures and compromise important legal documents.
Fortunately, organizations do not have to respond to abstract risk scenarios or uncertain timelines given that they now have
