Tychon’s President Eric P. Whittleton on Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness

Q: What is Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness? A: Public Key Cryptography (Asymmetric) is the way computers create an initial trust to pass secrets. Almost all systems today use Asymmetric encryption based on algorithms, using a combination of large prime numbers to create public and private keys. This method is easy to compute but hard to reverse engineer. In 1994, mathematician Peter Shor created his famous algorithm.
