About this episode
The episode discusses the uncertainty surrounding the timeline of cryptographically relevant quantum computers and how to persuade management to invest in post-quantum cryptography readiness.
While the cryptographic threat is fairly well-defined, the exact timing of the threat is unknown. Experts argue when cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQC) will be available: some say 5, 10, 15 years - depending on whom you ask. When the time horizon for a clear and present threat is unclear, how do you convince the management, especially your CTO and CIO, and the board, to invest in post quantum cryptography readiness?
