Quantum computing and encryption: Key to achieving resilience, technological sovereignty and leadership
2021-02-15 05:00

One such document is the new EU Cybersecurity Strategy, which mentions quantum computing and encryption as key technologies for achieving resilience, technological sovereignty and leadership.

Quantum technology will enable a huge leap forward in many branches of industry, as it can efficiently resolve problems technologies of today are not able to provide a solution for.

As a matter of fact, scientists commonly agree that quantum computers will be able to break widely used public-key cryptographic schemes.

This initiative is motivated by the fact that the transition to new quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms will take years, since the related processes are both extremely intricate and financially costly.

Under the hood of crypto assets and the distributed ledger technology.

With the creation of a pan-European blockchain regulatory sandbox, the European Union intends to put distributed ledger technologies to the test.
