Quantum computing advances threaten crypto

Recent advancements in quantum computing are accelerating the timeline for 'Q Day,' the point at which these powerful machines could break current encryption standards. While the exact cost and timeline remain uncertain, the increasing capabilities of quantum computers pose a significant and growing threat to cryptosystems, particularly those relying on elliptic curves. This development underscores the urgent need for quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions to safeguard sensitive data in the future.
