Quantum Computing and Cryptography: The Emerging Threats Highlighted at Black Hat and Defcon 20248/13/2024 There were a lot of interesting talks on various topics at Black Hat and Defcon this year, but I noticed an unexpected (at least for me) trend: an elevated attention to quantum computing and quantum cryptography, or more precisely- post quantum cryptography. This actually might be an indirect indicator of the fact that we are one step closer to the post quantum apocalypse. This is really mind bending, complex topic, which perhaps I am going to review later with more details, but the most important practical outcome is that once quantum computers, which already exists in their premature state, are implemented in full scale, they are going to influence our lives dramatically, and it might happen pretty soon (if not happening already, who knows, big brother won’t tell you). The cyber security and privacy as we know them are about to change, as they must transform fast enough to use quantum resistant algorithms, which is not a trivial but possible task.
