Why Quantum Safe Encryption Is the Next Y2K, and How To Be Prepared
summary
Claims that Shorian Shor's algorithm (named Shaw in the transcript) will break RSA and ECC drive a specific urgency: current captures enable harvest now decrypt later attacks; IBM/others contribute PQC candidates like CRYSTALS‑Kyber accepted by NIST; quantum machines are measured in qubits (tens to low hundreds) and are improving rapidly; one cited run claims a 56‑qubit system broke RSA‑2048 in ~22 hours. Practical takeaways: start testing post‑quantum libraries, plan hardware accelerators, and inventory keys and archives for migration.
