The Biden administration has made a policy commitment to promote US leadership in arising technology of quantum computing.
On quantum computing, the National Security Memo has been published last week. Which orders the US federal to prepare for the advent of both quantum computing and the related technology of quantum-resistant cryptography.
This commitment is important since it put the weight of US federal government spending into a nascent technology that shows a fundamental change in how computers work. Quantum computing systems are dependent on the properties of quantum states like superposition or entanglement.
If it’s combined with quantum algorithms the technology can easily solve some mathematical problems like integer factorization. The quantum computers of the future it’s safeguarded your data from being captured and stolen.
US national institute for standards and technology (NIST) and cryptographers and computer scientists are working together to select a preferred algorithm for post-quantum encryption. Quantum computers designed a scheme to protect against brute-force attacks.
To update the cryptography system so policies are set for federal agencies. US federal agencies should have a policy for strengthening security against quantum computers. Industries experts accepted the US government’s commitment to quantum computing.
