"Crypto Asset Discovery and the Post-Quantum Migration"

Quantum computers are expected to break RSA and ECC encryption within the next 7 to 10 years. RSA and ECC are public key encryption algorithms that serve as the foundation for nearly all cybersecurity systems, applications, and protocols. They secure credit card transactions, online banking, medical devices, connected cars, and other systems. Therefore, companies must prepare to ensure they are protected once an adequately advanced quantum computer has been developed. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading a process to develop and standardize new encryption algorithms to replace RSA and ECC. This article continues to discuss Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), PQC migration urgency, and "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) attacks.
