Dr. Vibhu Sharma, shaping new generation of semiconductor solutions for enabling Decarbonization and Digitalization.
The recent announcement of Google’s new quantum chip, Willow, is an important milestone toward the realization of quantum computers. But the dream-come-true scenario of the existence of quantum computers transforming our day-to-day lives is a nightmare scenario from the cybersecurity perspective. The factorization of integers and computation of discrete logarithms in polynomial time via the quantum computing-enabled Shor’s algorithm pose a major threat to traditional public-key cryptography.
The need for migration to post-quantum cryptography is highest for industries with long data shelf lives and systems operation. The approaches for quantum-resilient cryptography can be classified into two categories:
1. Mathematics-based post quantum cryptography (PQC).
2. Quantum key...
