The rate at which quantum computing is hitting the media stream is ever-increasing. This piece is a collection of articles and reports covering various aspects of quantum computing from the lens of cybersecurity and cryptography. Mea Cubitt
7 start-ups shaking up data and cybersecurity in the new normal | As the world becomes increasingly digital, these new players in cybersecurity and data-led intelligence are key start-ups to watch in 2021. Source: siliconrepublic. 7 start-ups shaking up data and cybersecurity in the new normal…
Why it’s time to wake up to the quantum threat | Quantum computing is proving to be enormously exciting for financial institutions. Already, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Börse are exploring quantum algorithms to calculate risk model simulations 1,000 times faster than currently possible, while BBVA is looking to quantum to optimise investment portfolio management.

Chip with secure encryption will help in fight against hackers | A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has designed and commissioned the production of a computer chip that implements post-quantum cryptography very efficiently. Such chips could provide protection against future hacker attacks using quantum computers. The researchers also incorporated hardware Trojans in the chip in order to study methods for detecting this type of “malware from the chip factory.” Source: Tech Xplore.

Quantum Computers Are Coming, But How Do We Stay Safe? | Quantum computers aren’t some futuristic fantasy that you can couple with hoverboards and interstellar space travel, they’re being developed right now. Tech industry giants, including the likes of Google, Microsoft and IBM, believe quantum computing will become a reality in the next decade. In fact, it was only last year that a team of Chinese scientists developed the most powerful quantum computer in the world, capable of performing at least one task 100 trillion times faster than the world’s fastest supercomputers. Pretty impressive. Source: TechBullion. Quantum Computers Are Coming, But How Do We Stay Safe?
