Crypto
Quantum computing poses a considerable threat to general-purpose cryptography. As many mathematicians, physicists and cryptographers are working hard to develop quantum-resistant cryptography, in many cases relying on post-quantum cryptography with no standard yet on how to safely solve this crisis, there is an urgent need for an open discussion about the risk posed by quantum computing and how it can be mitigated. Crypto could be the greatest thing to ever happen to online security. Or it could be some niche technology that only the tin-foil-hat crowd will use. Either way, it's hard to ignore the coming paradigm shift. In no time at all we may all be sending our banking passwords encrypted with quantum new algorithms. Quantum computers are being developed by Google and other organizations. These ultra powerful machines would be able to hack anything that uses cryptography, including Bitcoin wallets. Quantums are already ten million times faster in solving problems than a normal co...
