- Quantum computers threaten current encryption methods, making them obsolete.
- Network architects face a dilemma: invest in quantum-resistant algorithms now or focus on immediate threats like ransomware.
- Less than half of TLS connections in Cloudflare and only 18% of Fortune 500 networks support quantum-resistant TLS.
- Signal Protocol has been updated to be fully quantum-resistant, a significant engineering achievement.
- The complexity of making Signal Protocol quantum-safe was daunting but successfully accomplished without compromising performance.
