CyberAlberta's Quantum Readiness Strategy
“Quantum Readiness: Preparing for the Future of Cryptographic Security” analyzes the potential impact of quantum computing on cryptographic security and provides a summary of common approaches to becoming quantum ready. The primary threat quantum computing poses is the threat to current encryption systems that organizations rely on to keep their data secure, especially for data in transit. Efforts to protect against quantum algorithms have already been put forward, with the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) working on a set of post-quantum cryptographic standards.
