46. What That Means with Camille: Post-Quantum Cryptography

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trying to wrap your head around quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography? You’ve come to the right place! The brilliant Rafael Misoczki, Cryptography Engineer at Google, joins Camille for today’s episode of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What That Means</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to shed some light, offering accessible insight into what might seem intimidating concepts.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We cover:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What post-quantum cryptography is</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  The usefulness and weaknesses of quantum computing</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Why businesses should change crypto algorithms sooner rather than later</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- An underlooked form of cyber attack that could heavily affect people in the future</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  When we can expect quantum computers to become more mainstream</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">... and more!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be sure to tune in!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The views and opinions expressed are those of the guests and author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Intel Corporation.</span></em></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some key take-aways:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  When you’re dealing with quantum computing, you’re visiting both nodes (0 and 1) simultaneously.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Quantum computing is great for solving some problems, but not all.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Changing a crypto algorithm takes a significant amount of time, so businesses should consider transitioning as soon as possible.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Adversaries may be harvesting encrypted data right now with the intention o
