Due to their computing power, quantum computers have the disruptive potential to break various currently used encryption algorithms. Infineon Technologies has successfully demonstrated the first post-quantum cryptography implementation on a commercially available contactless security chip, as used for electronic ID documents. Quantum computer attacks on today’s cryptography are expected to become reality within the next 15 to 20 years. Once available, quantum computers could solve certain calculations much faster than today’s computers, threatening even best … More →
