The Real Date of the Quantum Computing Apocalypse and What the White House Says We’ll Do About It
Update: 2023-02-08
Description
Will quantum computers be able to crack RSA this decade? Maybe. But figuring out that exact date is not what you and your organization should be worried about. A memorandum issued by the White House reveals when the quantum computing apocalypse will begin as far as information security boots on the ground are concerned. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a deep dive into the NSM-10 memo and its near-term ramifications for the private sector.

Papers mentioned:
Where we get estimates for cracking RSA (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.07995) and blockchain (https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.06752).
The Chinese paper on factoring with a “smaller” quantum computer than expected: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12372.
