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.
Why is Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) superior to traditional pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) in cryptographic systems?
QRNG utilizes inherent quantum phenomena to generate true random numbers, providing genuine unpredictability and non-reproducibility, whereas PRNGs use algorithms, producing numbers that, while appearing random, are deterministic and potentially predictable.
