How Can IT Department Battle Attacks from quantum computers?
Quantum computing is a special topic area in quantum information science. A traditional computer has two states, on and off, while a quantum computer can also use a third state known as a superposition. This gives a quantum computer very unique capabilities, such as solving integer factorization very quickly. A traditional binary computer solves that particular mathematical problem slowly, whereas a quantum computer with an efficient algorithm can solve that same problem much more quickly. For example, in breaking RSA-2048, the time could be reduced from trillions of years to possibly jus...
