To round out our series on the effects of quantum computing on cryptography we’ll take a deeper look at what it could mean for an especially popular application of cryptography nowadays: cryptocurrencies.

That last blog might have left you wondering what can be done to prevent quantum computing from “breaking the internet” and all secure digital communication. Luckily, lots of preparation is already underway and it looks like the internet will survive.

The Cryptocalypse will be enabled by quantum computers and is predicted to “break the internet” by cracking all encryption algorithms that are used to secure emails, online banking, and all over-the-internet communication. This blog identifies what type of cryptography systems are actually in trouble and explains why.

Networked medical devices are a double-edged sword: They have the potential to play a transformational role in health care but also may be a vehicle that exposes patients and health care providers to safety and cybersecurity risks such as being hacked, being infected with malware and being vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Mobile network providers are rushing to implement 5G, which is proving to be an extremely difficult and expensive process; however, the tougher part of the 5G “race” is to retool how we secure this new network and the ecosystem of devices and applications that connect to it.

Modern cars have dozens of computers on board, and they’re not just for running GPS or playing music. Computers monitor and control nearly every system on your vehicle, including steering, brakes, and the engine itself. Modern vehicles have up to 50 different automotive IoT devices (computers) hackers can attack.
