Quantum Computing and the End of Encryption?

Quantum computing promises unprecedented processing power, but it also poses a dire threat to current encryption methods. 

Today’s encryption relies on complex mathematical problems that would take traditional computers millions of years to crack, but quantum computers could break these in seconds.

Security experts warn that quantum advancements could render modern encryption obsolete, exposing everything from financial transactions to government secrets. 

To counter this, researchers are developing quantum-resistant cryptography, but its implementation remains years away.

Tech leaders like IBM, Google, and Microsoft are racing to develop commercial quantum computers, while cybersecurity professionals are urging organizations to prepare for a post-quantum future now rather than waiting until it’s too late.
