were hacked with a laptop computer—nothing close to a powerful quantum computer. Understanding the potential for a quantum computer to be able to break cryptographic standards even more quickly in the future, the NIST algorithms are being re-labeled as “quantum-resistant” rather than “quantum proof."
On the other hand, we have the Department of Defense, led by the National Security Agency, concerned about what QKD might not be able to guard against, which has possibly slowed development in QKD technologies and QKD-enabled networks. The risk there is that the United States isn’t doing any of this in a vacuum. China and Europe are already well ahead in launching QKD network testbeds.
Doom and gloom aside, there are very interesting things being done in quantum today. There’s a big focus on building quantum memory and on developing all the components necessary to have an entangled photon transmission network. That’s particularly exciting from a security perspective because you’re instantly aware if someone is trying to hack into that system.
