Quantum-proofing India’s digital infrastructure: Why enterprises must prepare for the post-encryption era
By Sai Shankar – Founder QClairvoyance Quantum Labs Pvt. Ltd
Imagine leaving your office at the end of the day, locking the door and heading home. You know the door is secure today. But what if someone could copy that lock right now and build a key that works a few years from today? That is not a hypothetical. That is the situation Indian enterprises are in.
The encryption and digital signatures protecting National and International bank transactions, a corporate contract or a customer’s personal information may be secure against today’s computers. But quantum computers are expected to change that. Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, which operate fundamentally differently from the bits used by conventional computers.
By exploiting phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, quantum systems can approach and solve certain computational problems in fundamentally different ways.
Much of today’s digital security relies on mathematical problems...
