Post-Quantum Computing Encryption

This presentation developed out of a IT professional concern of the threat quantum computers pose to asymmetric encryption.  Asymmetric encryption underpins the security of the internet and protects almost all data in flight, including bank and shopping transactions.  Today hackers are collecting data in a scheme called “harvest now; decrypt later,” where once a quantum computer of sufficient size is developed the hackers will be able to break the asymmetric encryption keys in hours, minutes or even seconds.  Those keys in turn gives a hacker access to the symmetrical keys that can then be used to decrypt the captured data.  As a financial institution this threat is of grave concern to us and needed to be understood.  This presentation is a result of that endeavor and will go over the basics of how quantum computers work, the state of the art, quantum utility/advantage/supremacy, and the threat to encryption that quantum computers pose.
