Part 4 – A practical guide to start planning your transition to post-quantum cryptography

Although a “cryptographically relevant quantum computer” may be several years away, you really should start now to understand and plan what you need to do to be ready.
This article reviews some of the potential challenges to getting started, and then walk through some simple suggestions to help you to understand, prioritise and plan the work you need to do.

The basics about quantum computing, encryption and cyber security

Quantum computing has transformative potential. In particular, certain calculations that are just impossible to do with current “classical” computers may become feasible with quantum computers. This capability can also create a cyber security threat, in particular to some of the modern encryption that we rely on. But what really is the threat, and what should we be doing?
