Foundations of the Quantum Threat
Why a machine that does not exist yet is already a live risk to data you are transmitting today.
- Explain what a cryptographically relevant quantum computer is and what it is not
- Distinguish the threat Shor's algorithm poses from the threat Grover's algorithm poses
- Describe harvest-now-decrypt-later and calculate exposure using Mosca's inequality
- Identify which cryptography in a typical enterprise breaks and which survives
- Brief a non-technical executive on quantum risk without overstating it
