Resisting Quantum Decryption: The 'Harvest Now' Challenge
2 views2:24
Are intelligence agencies like the NSA already collecting your encrypted data, waiting for powerful quantum computers to decrypt it years from now? This urgent concern, known as 'harvest now, decrypt later,' poses a significant threat to long-term digital privacy and security.
While today's quantum computers, even with 105 qubits, are far from breaking current encryption standards, the race is on to develop technologies that can resist future decryption. Discover how innovative solutions are designed to protect today's valuable packets from even the most advanced, retrospective quantum attacks.

We see advancements in quantum computing, we see, you know, 105 qubit systems from Google and Microsoft and whoever. Uh, but that's still far from the number of logical qubits that they would need to break the kind of encryption you're talking about, but I want to ask you about your second layer because one of the concerns is that the NSA hoovers up all the packets and traffic right now and then years later retroactively decrypts the stuff they hoovered up today. So, you you've already talked about this. How does your technology resist future decryption of today's packets? Yeah, that's the the harvest now decrypt later. That's the that's the big concern and that's why we've added like post-quantum encryption to everything that we do. Um and like right now we're using it's X25 X25519 ML Kim 768. So it's it's really complicated, but it's basically it's the best that we have at this point and it's considered to be quantum safe based on what we know at this point. So it's the best that we have currently today and by any account that anybody out there thinks it's most likely going to be safe through quantum computing. ...
