Quantum Is Coming

With the arrival of quantum computing, protecting our secrets will be much more difficult. Current encryption protocols that take months or years to solve using today’s computers will be broken in fractions of a second. Fortunately, quantum computing has yet to arrive, and NTT Research is hard at work developing post-quantum encryption so sensitive data can be secured before it does.
