Why do I need Post Quantum Cryptography now?
Data is already at risk. In many environments, it will take up to a decade to migrate to post quantum cryptography. At an absolute minimum, data must be secured with PQC prior to a quantum computer being able to decrypt it. Any data using today’s encryption that is stolen prior to the migration could be decrypted once the quantum computer is available.
What is an asymmetric algorithm?
This is a type of encryption or signing algorithm, where the encryption and decryption steps use different keys – often the recipient will have a private key to decrypt and a public key for others to encrypt it for them.
