Quantum Cryptography: Protecting the World's Data from the 'Q-Day' Threat
Primacy in quantum computing will break every current encryption. We analyze the 'Post-Quantum' security market and the race for unhackable code.

The Lead
The day a quantum computer can perform Shor’s algorithm on current encryption—'Q-Day'—will be the day the digital world stops. Every bank account, state secret, and private message will be laid bare. We analyze the multi-billion dollar pivot to 'Post-Quantum Cryptography' (PQC) and why 'Quantum Key Distribution' (QKD) is the only physical guarantee of privacy in a world of infinite compute.
