For a long time limited to speculations about bitcoin, quantum computing now invites itself in a much more sensitive field: that of encrypted messaging. Behind the debate on blockchain security, another threat takes shape, more immediate: that of private data intercepted today, then deciphered tomorrow. Researchers and industrials warn about this shift, which moves the front line towards tools like Signal or Threema. L'article Quantum computing …
IBM, Signal, Threema develop quantum-resistant messaging protocols - The Blockopedia
The quantum threat to encrypted communications Quantum computing has been talked about as a future problem for Bitcoin for years. But now, researchers are saying the same technology could actually pose a more immediate risk to encrypted messaging systems. These are the platforms used by governments, journalists, and honestly, millions of regular people worldwide. IBM […] The post IBM, Signal, Threema develop quantum-resistant messaging protocols…
