Quantum Defense for Crypto Would Decrease Usability, Study Shows | These are the results of a study conducted by Stephen Homes, Arqit’s chief product officer, and Liqun Chen from the University of Surrey. In the paper, the authors posit that quantum computers could in theory use Shor’s algorithm to break cryptocurrencies’ encryption. They believe this algorithm could break Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signatures, which many cryptocurrencies depend on. Source: beincrypto.com.

Mitigating Threats to Encryption From Quantum and Bad Random | Encryption is under threat from two sides. The first we can call bad actors, which comprises criminals and nation states. The second is bad encryption, which comprises poor systems and bad random. These two threats already combine to make common encryption less secure than we like to believe ‒ and with the power of quantum computing, it will only get worse. Source: SECURITYWEEK.
