With a grant of €1.5 million by the German government, Tutanota will develop the first post-quantum secure cloud storage and file sharing solution.
Interesting project.
While quantum computers will soon be able to decrypt ‘normally’ encrypted data quite easily, they will cut their teeth on post-quantum secure encryption.
I doubt that this is true.
Shor’s algorithm and Grover’s algorithm are not able to soon break any encryption, we are not even remotely close to having the hardware needed to run them.
Good point. I hope you’re right that we’re very far off from that reality. It’s best to be prepared, though. Productivity increases from AI use across industries may bring us the hardware needed for encryption-breaking quantum computing algorithms sooner than we think.
