In the world of quantum computing and encryption Latest News about encryption, the question of which will come first, quantum computing or quantum encryption, is very important.

In fact, it is vital.

If quantum computing comes first, chaos will reign, since most of security systems installed by the world's vital institutions, including banking, commerce and government, have come to depend on current encryption methods -- which would instantly become archaic.

The boost in computing power offered by quantum computing would make many of the encryption security measures now in place obsolete.
