"Today's Encryption is at risk - act now before quantum computers break it!"
Today's Asymmetric Encryption Will Be Broken By Quantum Computers Running Shor's Algorithm
Why is this a Threat Today if Quantum Computers aren't powerful enough to break current encryption by running Shor's Algorithm, and what exactly is Shor's Algorithm?
Shor's Algorithm, named after mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm designed to efficiently factorize large composite numbers. It's one of the most famous and impactful algorithms in quantum computing, as it provides an exponential speedup over the best-known classical algorithms for factoring and a path to break current encryption.
However, data encrypted today can be harvested and decrypted tomorrow once quantum computing power reaches a critical level, allowing for the leverage of Shor's algorithm (Harvest Now, Decrypt Later).
This is not a distant possibility—it’s a near-term reality that could compromise customers’ trust and damage your reputation.
Why is this important? Why must Companies act now? How can QuantaCyber help?
We must stop viewing computing power through the lens of Moore’s Law, which predicts that classical computers double in power roughly every 2 years.
Quantum computers don’t follow this pattern—they accelerate exponentially faster.
Some leading quantum technology leaders predict that between 2027 and 2029, quantum computing will double in power every 2 hours!
Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs) could soon be capable of breaking the algorithms that protect logins, transactions, and sensitive data across every sector—from finance and healthcare to telecom and defense.
Encryption isn’t optional; it’s woven into the fabric of every business! It secures logins, financial transactions, digital signatures, customer data, and every piece of sensitive information handled by companies and government agencies alike.
But CRQCs are on the horizon, and they will shatter today's encryption if organizations aren't prepared.
QuantaCyber helps organizations understand and address the threat posed by quantum computing by combining academic research in quantum cybersecurity with real-world cybersecurity expertise.
Through our partnerships and active participation with leading research institutions, we can model and validate your post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms in academic cyber ranges, ensuring that your transition to quantum-safe security is based on evidence—not assumption.
Some experts predict Y2Q may be just around the corner!
The Countdown to Y2Q: The Quantum Threat Timeline
Do we really know when quantum computers will become powerful enough to break today's encryption? Everything is at stake for your business and your customers!
What approach should Companies take to address PQC and CRQC
“Addressing PQC requires more than implementing the NIST-sanctioned algorithms - it’s about building crypto-agility into your organization. To preserve business continuity, you will need to support both the current PKI cryptographic infrastructure and the new PQC standards, as well as prepare for future cryptographic updates - this is known as 'crypto agility’.
The journey begins by:
1️⃣ Identifying where cryptography is used across your enterprise.
2️⃣ Creating your governance and oversight strategy to guide PQC adoption, risk management, and
accountability.
3️⃣ Assessing vulnerabilities and prioritizing remediation.
4️⃣ Consider partnering with an academic institution that has proven credentials in quantum
cryptography and cyber-range testing to model and validate PQC implementations before deployment in your
network.
5️⃣ Migrate to NIST-approved PQC algorithms and maintain crypto-agility for future updates.
This transition can take years, not months. The time to start is now - before adversaries harvesting your data today will be able to decrypt it tomorrow.
Today's Asymmetric Encryption Will Be Broken By Quantum Computers Running Shor's Algorithm. The real question is "when"!
Why is this a threat today if Quantum Computers aren't powerful enough to break current encryption by running Shor's Algorithm, and what exactly is Shor's Algorithm?
Shor's Algorithm, named after mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm designed to efficiently factor large composite numbers, thereby breaking the security of current Public-Key based cryptography. It's one of the most famous and impactful algorithms in quantum computing, as it may provide an exponential speedup over the best-known classical algorithms for factoring and a path to breaking current encryption.
Don't wait until this happens! Data encrypted today can be harvested and decrypted tomorrow once quantum computing power reaches a critical level, allowing for Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQC).
This is not a distant possibility-it’s a near-term reality that could compromise customers’ trust and damage your reputation.
