"UAH Leads NATO Program Partners in Project to Address Impact of Quantum Technology on Global Security"
Researchers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) are leading a NATO collaboration to address emerging security challenges posed by quantum technologies. Quantum computers use quantum phenomena to solve mathematical problems that conventional computers find difficult or intractable. Researchers have stressed that quantum computers will eventually be able to break many of today's public-key cryptosystems, thus putting digital communications at risk. In order to combat these threats, the multi-year initiative supported under the NATO Science for Peace and Security Program (NATO SPS) aims to provide secure communications using classical and quantum technologies. The initiative addresses energy security, cyber defense, and more. This article continues to discuss the project on addressing the impact of quantum technologies on global security.
