Two Clocks Are Ticking
AI is coming faster. Quantum could hit harder. A global look at why security leaders cannot choose between them, what the world's regulators now expect, and why both clocks are already running.
In this issue
- AI is the speed threat; quantum is the shelf-life threat. AI shrinks the time an attacker needs. Quantum shrinks how long today's secrets and signatures stay safe.
- Q-Day is a curve, not a date. Published estimates of the hardware needed to break RSA-2048 have fallen from 20 million qubits in 2019 to roughly 10,000 to 100,000 in designs published this year.
- Quantum attacks are invisible and irreversible. Data harvested today leaves no trace, and nothing can be done once it is decrypted.
