Why post-quantum cryptography matters to everyone | Jan Villemson, Dan Bogdanov

About this episode

Dan Bogdanov and Jan Villemson discuss the importance of post-quantum cryptography in securing digital communications against the threats posed by quantum computing.

In this episode of Science Will Make You Happy, Dan Bogdanov, Chief Scientific Officer at Cybernetica, and Jan Villemson, Senior Researcher at Cybernetica, explore the essential role cryptography plays in securing our digital world, as well as the rising field of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). As advancements in quantum computing continue, they pose a significant challenge to traditional encryption methods. In this discussion, Dan and Jan examine the implications for our security, how soon quantum computers might break current encryption, and why service providers are increasingly moving toward PQC solutions.
