Quantum Computing and Cybersecurity: Threat or Opportunity?
摘要
Quantum computing perspective is that it will revolutionize the way we implement and execute highly intensive processing algorithms or large space solution search heuristics. So algorithms of polynomial or exponential complexity will deliver their results in matters of hours, rather than days and the implications for classic and de-facto security algorithms are disruptive. We explore some possibilities for leveraging quantum computing power to secure data stored and exchanged in non-quantum environments while there is enough evidence in the existing literature that quantum algorithms may have the potential to level up the security level of a hybrid computational ecosystem consisting of a few quantum nodes and several non-quantum nodes. We explore a possible way of how we can use quantum algorithms to secure data stored in non-quantum environments in front of quantum threats.
