Quantum Computing and Your Privacy

Quantum computers have been around for quite some time now, and their potential to perform mind-numbingly fast calculations is no secret to the scientific community. The problem, however, is scaling these calculations up to a commercially viable state.?

One such popular example is Shor’s algorithm. Developed by Peter Shor in 1994, this quantum computing algorithm is used for factoring a number N in O((log N)3) time and O(log N) space.

Now how does this quantum algorithm affect us in our daily lives? And more specifically, how does it impact our data privacy and security? The answer lies in the manner of securing our data.
