Will quantum computers slow our Internet down?
November 14, 2023 at 5:24 am
One of the few things quantum computers are better than normal computers on is breaking RSA-based encryption (large prime numbers). While there are some encryptions that are not vulnerable to quantum computers (such as the vector-lattice-based encryptions)... can those encryption algorithms be implemented efficiently? I see no reason to think classical computers will become significantly faster in the future, and while RSA-based encryption can be implemented efficiently on classical computers, I don't know if the vector-lattice-based encryption can be. Will quantum computers return us back to time when Internet was unencrypted because the encryption was too slow to be useful for most websites?
