How is the US Government addressing quantum risks?
The US Government is addressing quantum risks by issuing warnings and implementing initiatives, such as the National Quantum Initiative Act and the National Cybersecurity Strategy, to develop strategies, standards, and technologies that counteract quantum threats and promote quantum research and security.
What distinguishes quantum-safe from quantum-secure?
Quantum-safe solutions are resistant to known attacks from both classical and quantum computers based on current mathematical understanding, while quantum-secure solutions utilize methods, like one-time pad (OTP) encryption with true random numbers from quantum sources, designed to be unbreakable even with future quantum advancements.
